1980 Map of Springdale West

About this map

The Virgin River corridor serves as the lifeblood of this desert landscape, where the small agricultural settlements of Rockville and Grafton sit perched along its banks. By the time of this 1980 edition, the dramatic transition from the river valley to the towering heights of Zion National Park is clearly documented. The mapping shows a complex network of dry washes, including Coalpits Wash and Petrified Forest Wash, carving into the sandstone plateaus. To the south, Grafton Mesa and Gooseberry Mesa dominate the horizon, while the town of Springdale marks the gateway to the massive formations of the north. This survey captures the rural character of the river valley before modern expansion, preserving the locations of the Cem near Grafton and the intricate trails navigating the cliffs of the Vermilion Cliffs and Eagle Crags.
