1987 Map of Rainbow Bridge

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate the southern portion of this region, meeting the high slopes of Navajo Mountain near the Arizona-Utah border. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems like Aztec Creek and Forbidding Canyon, which feed northward into the inundated waters of Lake Powell and the Colorado River. This 1987 provisional mapping highlights the intricate labyrinth of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where geological landmarks like the Rainbow Bridge National Monument and the secluded Owl Bridge stand amidst the erosion-carved terrain. Historic transit routes through the high country are evidenced by Redbud Pass and various named canyons such as Tsagieto Canyon and Dome Canyon, reflecting a landscape where movement is dictated by the steep vertical relief and the presence of the water table.
