1988 Map of Monument Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding course through the heart of Canyonlands National Park in this late 1980s topographical study. High above the riverbank, the Island in the Sky plateau terminates at Grand View Point, overlooking the intricate erosion of Monument Basin. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of the White Rim and isolated formations like Junction Butte, which stands as a prominent sentinel where the terrain drops away into the canyon system.
