1991 Map of Lion Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates this 1991 provisional survey of the Grand County wilderness, where a complex network of canyons and high ridges defines the landscape. The McPherson Range stretches across the central portion of the map, separating the drainages of Florence Creek to the north from the southern waters of Coal Creek. This terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, moving from the flat-topped Three Fords Benches down into deep incisions like Lion Canyon and Saleratus Canyon. Notable landmarks for navigation include the Natural Arch in the northwest and Dripping Springs further south. The drainage patterns of Upper Bear Canyon and Lower Bear Canyon reflect the intricate hydrological systems of this remote plateau region during the late twentieth century.
