1985 Map of Navajo Lake

About this map

Navajo Lake sits as the central hydrologic feature of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters are hemmed in by the towering Pink Cliffs to the south. This 1980s field survey documents a wilderness defined by its dramatic geological breaks and volcanic remnants, including The Craters and a Cinder Pit near Horse Pasture. The map details the complex drainage systems of the Dixie National Forest, where headwaters like the North Fork Virgin River and Ashdown Creek begin their descent from the plateau. Significant recreational and administrative landmarks are noted, including Cedar Breaks National Monument at the northwestern edge and the Boy Scout Spring campground near the lake. The terrain is marked by sharp vertical relief, from the depths of Ashdown Gorge to the high observation points at Spectra Point and Point Supreme.
