1988 Map of Druid Arch

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Canyonlands National Park dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, showcasing the intricate erosion patterns of the Colorado Plateau in San Juan County. The topography is defined by the labyrinthine spires of The Needles, where isolated grassy clearings like Chesler Park and Virginia Park are enclosed by sandstone formations. Geological landmarks such as Druid Arch and Angel Arch highlight the unique structural features of the area, while the drainage systems of Elephant Canyon, Squaw Canyon, and Salt Creek reveal the network of ephemeral waterways that have carved this environment over millennia. To the south, the transition into Beef Basin and Middle Park suggests a shift toward broader, though no less complex, canyon floor terrain. Remote access is indicated by various 4wd routes, connecting significant water sources such as Peekaboo Spring and topographical breaks like the Upper Jump along the creek beds.
