1983 Map of Moab

About this map

Moab serves as the focal point for this eastern Utah region during the early 1980s, where the winding Colorado River carves through a landscape defined by dramatic plateaus and deep canyons. The map documents the extensive reach of Arches National Park and the rugged Dome Plateau, illustrating how topography dictated the placement of settlements and transit. To the north, the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridors connect outposts like Thompson and Crescent Junction.
