1953 Map of Mt. Ellsworth

About this map

Mt Ellsworth dominates the northern skyline in this 1950s survey of the southeast Henry Mountains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River as it carves through Glen Canyon, a section of the river mapped here prior to the completion of the Glen Canyon Dam. Along the riverbanks, numerous gravel bars are documented, including Olympia Bar, California Bar, and Moki Bar, which were historically significant sites for early prospecting and river navigation.
