1985 Map of Gold Bar Canyon

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding path through the high desert of the Colorado Plateau in this mid-1980s topographical study. The industrial site at Potash stands as a significant human imprint on the riverbank, linked by a Transmission Line and surrounded by the massive sandstone formations of Amasa Back and Jackson Hole. Along the river's tight oxbows, distinctive geological markers like The Jug Handle and The Billboard serve as navigational landmarks for both river travelers and backcountry explorers.
