1968 Map of King Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

King Mesa and the surrounding high desert plateaus are defined by deep drainage systems and prominent geological formations in this late 1960s survey of southern Utah. The Escalante River winds through the northeast corner, while the complex erosional patterns of Coyote Gulch and Hurricane Wash dominate the central terrain. This map captures a transitional period for the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, showing a proposed boundary line that would shape the region's conservation future. Significant natural landmarks are documented throughout, including the Jacob Hamblin Arch, Coyote Natural Bridge, and the towering Chimney Rock. A series of isolated water sources such as Gates Tank and King Spring underscore the arid nature of the Ezra Mc Bench Area, while early access is marked by several unnamed Jeep Trails cutting across Fortymile Ridge.
