1980 Map of Springdale East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Parunuweap Canyon Virgin River East Fork and Zion Canyon River Virgin converge in this 1980 study, detailing a landscape defined by massive sandstone formations and early Mormon-pioneer era settlements. At the park's southern gateway, Springdale and the site of Shunesburg provide anchors for local history, with a Cemetery noted near the latter. The map documents the intricate path of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway, including the engineering feat of the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Checkerboard Mesa and the White Cliffs. From Zion Lodge and the Wylie Retreat in the north down to Shunesburg Mountain, the survey traces a complex network of canyons and washes, such as Gifford Canyon and Shunes Creek, that dictated the routes of travel and original homesteading patterns in this corner of Washington County.
