1987 Map of Horse Pasture Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park and the northern reaches of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area converge in this high-desert landscape, dominated by the formidable staircase of the Circle Cliffs. The topography is defined by massive plateaus and deep drainage systems, including the namesake Horse Pasture Mesa and the expansive Silver Falls Bench. The presence of a Prospect and several Prospects near Colt Mesa, along with an Adit, suggests a period of exploratory mineral interest in the mid-20th century. Moody Creek and its various branches, such as Middle Moody Canyon, have carved intricate paths through the Choprock Canyon and along the Purple Hills, illustrating a complex erosional environment. This 1987 provisional survey documents the intersection of protected federal lands and the legacy of small-scale mining efforts in Garfield County.
