1980 Map of Escalante

About this map

The Escalante River corridor dominates this high-plateau landscape, showing the transition from the forested peaks of the Dixie National Forest down into the labyrinthine canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. By 1980, the town of Escalante serves as a central hub for the region, with the nearby Escalante Airport and Utah 12 providing the primary access through the Upper Valley. The map details the massive geological barriers of the Straight Cliffs and the Kaiparowits Plateau, which long isolated these remote settlements.
