1970 Map of Jim Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Book Cliffs dominate the southern landscape of this 1970 survey, where the high desert terrain of the Utah-Colorado border is defined by deep drainage systems like Prairie Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. This era represents a period of significant energy development in the region, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and infrastructure associated with the San Arroyo Gas Field and Overlook Gas Field. The intricate topography of Overlook Ridge and Hells Hole Canyon is accessible primarily via a network of Jeep Trails, highlighting the remote and industrial character of the area during the early 1970s. Historical boundaries are clearly marked, including the intersection of Uintah, Grand, and Garfield counties at the state line, where Bitter Creek and Bar X Wash carve through the sedimentary layers of the plateau.
