1987 Map of Jacobs Chair

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Jacobs Chair stands as the defining landmark of this high-desert landscape in southeastern Utah, where the deep incisions of White Canyon and Fry Canyon dictate the movement of travelers and water. By the late 1980s, the area's geography was defined by massive sandstone features such as Wingate Mesa and Found Mesa, while human activity is evidenced by scattered Prospect sites and the presence of a Landing Strip. The map records historical route points like Soldier Crossing and Gravel Crossing, which mark where early travelers and modern 4WD vehicles navigated the canyon bottoms. Near the confluence of these drainages, the Fry Canyon Trailer Park provides a rare point of habitation in a region characterized by its expansive mesas and steep-walled canyons, including Cowboy Canyon and Nook Canyon.
