1953 Map of Mt. Ellsworth

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Colorado River currents wind through the heart of Glen Canyon in this mid-century survey, just before the landscape was fundamentally altered by downstream damming. The topography is defined by the high peaks of the Henry Mountains, including Mt Ellsworth, which overlook a complex system of plateaus and entrenched canyons. Along the river banks, various gravel bars such as Good Hope Bar, Olympia Bar, and Smith Bar highlight the historical importance of these river features for navigation and early prospecting in the region.
