1985 Map of Gunsight Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The submerged canyons and sandstone monoliths of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominate this mid-1980s topography. Centered on the sprawling waters of Lake Powell, the map illustrates a landscape defined by the intersection of high desert plateaus and the rising reservoir levels of the era. Prominent landmarks such as Gunsight Butte, Cookie Jar Butte, and Padres Butte stand as islands or peninsulas within the complex shoreline of Padre Bay and Last Chance Bay. To the south, the Navajo Indian Reservation borders the Colorado River corridor below the dammed waters. This survey is particularly useful for tracking the shoreline configuration of Labyrinth Bay and Gunsight Bay during this specific stage of the reservoir's history, alongside the traditional landforms like Alstrom Point and Romana Mesa.
