1985 Map of Face Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation spans the majority of this mid-1980s landscape, where high plateaus meet the deep incisions of the Colorado River drainage system. The terrain is dominated by the Rainbow Plateau and the prominent Weed Bench, which rise above the complex network of canyons. The map documents the northern boundary where the reservation meets the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, showcasing the dramatic interaction between the waters of Lake Powell and the winding course of Face Canyon. Local indigenous history is reflected in several named sites and water sources, such as Hastiin Yazhi Bito and Tiislohi. The detailed topographical relief reveals the isolated nature of these uplands, illustrating the expansive and difficult terrain that has historically separated the plateau from the primary corridors of travel.
