1980 Map of Firehole Canyon

About this map

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area dominates this 1980 survey, illustrating the managed landscape where the Green River meets high desert plateaus. The map details the reach of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir as it fills the deep cuts of Firehole Canyon and Little Firehole Canyon, creating a complex shoreline at Buckboard Reservoir and Green River Reservoir. This era shows the region's balance between recreation and industry, with a Pumping Sta and a Pipeline network set against the dramatic topography of the Green River Basin.
