1968 Map of Sooner Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Straight Cliffs and the rising mass of Fiftymile Mountain dominate the southern landscape of this 1960s survey. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the high plateau of Sooner Bench drops away into a complex network of canyons and washes. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Cottonwood Spring, Fortymile Spring, and Tank Hollow Spring providing essential waypoints along established trails. The map records a period of transition for the eastern section, noted as part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, including a proposed boundary line near Willow Gulch. Travel across the bench is limited to a few secondary routes, including a Jeep Trail and a Pack Trail, which connect landmarks like the distinctive Dance Hall Rock and Blondie Knoll.
