1980 Map of Straight Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The North Fork Virgin River and its major tributaries, such as Ashdown Fork, carve through this section of Dixie National Forest in the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by massive topographic shifts, including the Pink Cliffs and Table Bench. This survey provides a record of the area's hydrology and land management just before the turn of the decade, noting remote water sources like Bulloch Spring and Lower Bear Spring. Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, indicated by a Gaging Sta on the river and a network of Jeep Trails and the Pink Cliffs Trail navigating the canyons. Named high points like Pine Knoll and Horse Knoll rise above The Plains, while the complex drainage systems of Stevens Canyon and Orderville Canyon illustrate the intricate erosion patterns characteristic of the Kane County high country.
