1987 Map of Nokai Dome

About this map

Nokai Dome rises as the central topographic feature in this 1980s landscape, which marks the intersection of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Navajo Indian Res. The southern edge of the map is defined by the San Juan River as it enters Lake Powell, showing the water levels and shoreline before modern fluctuations. Remote industrial activity is evident through labels like Skelly 6054 and various prospects, alongside a remote Landing Strip perched on the high ground. The drainage systems of Lake Canyon, Castle Creek, and Johnnies Hole Creek cut through the high desert, illustrating the complex erosion patterns and accessibility of this corner of San Juan County during the late twentieth century.
