1987 Map of Shafer Basin
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Colorado River carves a deep, winding course through this 1987 survey of the high desert along the Grand and San Juan County line. The map captures the meeting of managed conservation and resource extraction, with the vast boundaries of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park bordering industrial features. In the northern reaches, the Shafer Basin contains several large Salt Evaporators, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding wilderness.
