About this map

Zion National Park is documented here during the late 1970s, showcasing the intricate relationship between the North Fork Virgin River and the towering formations of the main canyon. The map details the central visitor corridor, including the Zion Lodge and several key trailheads such as The Grotto. Iconic monoliths and viewpoints are precisely located, from the soaring height of Angels Landing and The Great White Throne to the sheer face of Cable Mountain.

Beyond the primary valley, the topography reveals a network of canyons and plateaus, including Horse Pasture Plateau and Orderville Canyon. This survey captures the infrastructure of the era, noting West Rim Trail (Pack) and Cable Mountain Trail (Pack) alongside natural features like Weeping Rock and the Temple of Sinawava. The proximity of the Washington Co Kane Co boundary illustrates the park's placement across the high desert landscape.
