2001 Map of Fisher Towers

About this map

Colorado River currents flow past the Onion Creek Rapids as they cut through the geological complexity of Grand County at the turn of the 21st century. This survey reveals a landscape of massive red rock formations and deep canyons, dominated by the vertical spires of Fisher Towers, Titan Tower, and the Totem Pole. Human activity is sparse but notable, with the Richardson (Site) marking a former settlement location near the river, while Titus Ranch persists further north. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Manti-La Sal National Forest, where the terrain rises toward Adobe Mesa. This document tracks the persistence of old mining interest through scattered Mines and Gravel Pits while recording the prominent landmarks like Castle Rock and the Priest and Nuns that serve as vital navigation points in the high desert.
