1988 Map of Horsethief Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through the heart of this landscape, transitioning from the winding curves of Labyrinth Canyon into the narrows of Stillwater Canyon. This 1980s-era documentation captures the intersection of three major Utah counties — Emery, Wayne, and San Juan — within the protected reaches of Canyonlands National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The river's serpentine course is defined by distinct alluvial benches or "bottoms," including Fort Bottom, Potato Bottom, and Beaver Bottom, which represent rare level ground beneath the towering Orange Cliffs and the elevated plateau of The Spur. High-country features like Bighorn Mesa and the Potato Bottom Basin overlook a network of tributary drainages such as Millard Canyon and Big Spring Canyon, illustrating the complex erosion patterns that define the San Rafael Swell's southern reaches.
