1997 Map of The Loop

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Colorado River meanders through the high desert of San Juan County, Utah, carving the dramatic oxbow known as The Loop. This late 20th-century survey documents the intricate geological forms within Canyonlands National Park, including the distinctive parallel ridges of The Needles and the sunken fault blocks of The Grabens. The landscape is a labyrinth of named canyons like Elephant Canyon and Big Spring Canyon, which dictate the few primitive routes through the region.
