About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Green River serves as the central focal point for this 1953 survey of the remote Utah backcountry. This area, largely defined by the sandstone spires of The Needles, shows the early topographic mapping of what would become Canyonlands National Park. The landscape is characterized by intricate canyon systems like Stillwater Canyon and Cataract Canyon, punctuated by distinctive landmarks such as Druid Arch and Beehive Arch.
