1987 Map of Stevens Canyon North

About this map

Waterpocket Fold dominates the eastern portion of this 1987 provisional survey, showcasing the dramatic monocline that defines the regional geology. The landscape is divided by the border of Garfield and Kane Counties, where the high desert terrain transitions into the protected lands of Capitol Reef National Park and the expansive Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. These federal lands preserve a network of deep drainages including Stevens Canyon and East Moody Canyon, which illustrate the intricate erosion patterns of the Colorado Plateau. The map captures this remote area before modern digital mapping, reflecting the complex topography near Halls Creek and Millers Creek through detailed contour work based on 1981 aerial photography.
