1953 Map of Lake Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Colorado River and San Juan River meander through this 1953 survey, illustrating a landscape of deep canyons and significant archaeological sites. The presence of Cliff Dwellings near a Waterfall along Lake Canyon points to a long history of human occupation in this remote corner of southeastern Utah. Navigation through the complex terrain is marked by the Hall Trail, while the riverbanks feature numerous bars such as Amphitheater Bar, Boston Bar, and Shock Bar, which were historical points of interest for early river travelers.
