1963 Map of Grand Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

San Juan River flows through the heart of this desert landscape, where the rising waters of Lake Powell meet the deep incisions of Slickhorn Canyon and Grand Gulch. The map identifies numerous archaeological sites, marking specific locations of Cliff Dwelling and Petroglyphs throughout the canyon systems of Cedar Mesa. These cultural records are juxtaposed with early 1960s mineral exploration, evidenced by scattered Drill Hole locations. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the Navajo Indian Reservation, featuring landmarks like Douglas Mesa and the distinctively named Cowboy Hat. Remote springs such as Collins Spring and Red House Spring provide rare water sources amidst the expansive Flat and high mesas of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
