1953 Map of The Rincon

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Colorado River and Escalante River converge in this high-desert canyon system, showing the landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s before significant changes to the river flow. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of Stevens Canyon, Cow Canyon, and Explorer Canyon as they cut through the massive sandstone formations. A primary geographic focal point is The Rincon, an abandoned meander of the Colorado River that stands as a distinctive landmark within Glen Canyon.
