1885 Map of East Tavaputs

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

The East Tavaputs Plateau forms the heart of this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance, a landscape defined by the deep incisions of Desolation Canyon and the winding course of the Green River. Surveyed by the pioneering Hayden and Powell expeditions in the 1870s, the map reveals an arid wilderness characterized by massive geological formations like the Brown Cliffs and the Roan or Book Cliffs. The drainage patterns of White River and its tributaries, such as Asphalt Creek and Bitter Water Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Uinta region.
