1980 Map of Springdale East

About this map

The North Fork Virgin River carves through the sandstone monoliths of Zion National Park in this 1980 survey, illustrating the intersection of natural monumentality and early canyon tourism. The map detail highlights the established visitor infrastructure, including the Zion Lodge, Wylie Retreat, and the massive engineering of the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. Beyond the park gates, the settlement of Springdale serves as the gateway to the canyon, while further south and east, the landscape transitions to the more remote reaches of Parunuweap Canyon.
