About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through this high desert landscape, defining the topography of the eastern portion of the survey. The river's winding course creates distinct geographic features such as Amasa Back and the sharp oxbow of Jackson Hole. Along the riverbanks, low-lying areas like Bliss Bottom, Lake Bottom, and Jackson Bottom are delineated against the steep canyon walls.

Industrial and recreational footprints appear at the southern edge of the map, notably the industrial site at Potash and the northern reaches of Dead Horse Point State Park. The interior is characterized by a network of named drainages and landmarks, including Gemini Bridges, Gold Bar Arch, and the elevated plateau of Arths Pasture. Historic access is indicated by Old Hwy 191 in Moab Canyon and primitive routes like Gemini Bridges Rd and Long Canyon Rd.
