1997 Map of Druid Arch

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Canyonlands National Park dominates this landscape, recorded as it appeared during the late 20th century. The intricate labyrinth of The Needles reveals a geological maze defined by massive erosion, where the famous Druid Arch and Angel Arch stand as prominent landmarks. This survey traces the essential water sources that carved the territory, from the northern reaches of Elephant Canyon and Big Spring Canyon to the southern drainage of Salt Creek and Butler Wash. In the southwest, the terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Beef Basin and Middle Park, areas that suggest historical grazing and exploration beyond the core rock formations. The network of 4wd routes provides the primary means of traversal through this complex geography, linking isolated spots like Peekaboo Spring and the hidden meadows of Chesler Park and Virginia Park. This map is a primary resource for understanding the preservation and primitive access patterns of this remote San Juan County corner.
