1985 Map of Ferry Swale

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this mid-1980s terrain, where the northern high desert meets the deep incisions of the Colorado River and its tributaries. The landscape is defined by the extensive Ferry Swale drainage system and the intricate sandstone formations of Thousand Pockets. As a provisional 1985 survey, this map details a period when cattle ranching and modern recreation overlapped in the high desert of Coconino County. Evidence of this dual use is seen in the scattered water infrastructure, including Wildcat Tank, Bishops Tank, and Ferry Swale Tank. To the south, the map captures the confluence where the Paria River joins the main canyon system. Historical transit routes through the broken country are noted at Dominguez Pass, while the river's edge features riverside landmarks like Eightmile Bar and the distinctive Finger Rock spire.
