1985 Map of Fisher Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Fisher Valley and the surrounding high plateaus of Grand County characterize this mid-1980s landscape, defined by a complex network of canyons and high mesas. The northeastern corner of the map is dominated by the Dolores River as it cuts through the terrain, while the southern section transitions into the protected lands of the Manti-La Sal North National Forest. The map reveals a history of resource extraction, particularly on Polar Mesa, which is marked with numerous Adits, Mine Shafts, and mining prospects. Other significant relief features include Sevenmile Mesa and Beaver Mesa, separated by deep drainages like Thompson Canyon and Hideout Canyon. This survey captures the region's character as a site of both natural preservation and industrial activity during the later twentieth century.
