1988 Map of Mineral Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Green River carves a winding path through this corner of Grand and Emery Counties, creating the dramatic loop of Bowknot Bend and the steep walls of Labyrinth Canyon. The landscape is dominated by high plateaus including Deadman Point, Mineral Point, and Horsethief Point, which loom over the river bottoms and the deep incision of Hell Roaring Canyon. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered prospects, a gravel pit, and a sandpit, while the lower portion of the map enters the northern reaches of Canyonlands National Park. Evidence of 1980s-era land use is visible in the network of 4wd tracks that provide access to remote areas like Mineral Bottom and Tidwell Bottom, highlighting the transition of this area from a mining and ranching frontier to a recreational and protected landscape.
