1987 Map of The Rincon NE

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Waterpocket Fold dominates this mid-1980s landscape, a massive monocline that defines the geology of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This provisional survey documents the intersection of high desert plateaus and the fingers of Lake Powell as it reached into the southern Utah canyons. The map tracks the jagged shoreline of Halls Creek Bay and the sheer verticality of Iron Top Mesa, illustrating the dramatic elevation changes that characterize this wilderness. Several drainage systems, including Navajo Canyon, Long Canyon Creek, and Bowns Canyon, are shown cutting through the sandstone as they head toward the Colorado River corridor. A specific Natural Arch is noted near the bay, while the canyon walls of Lost Eden Canyon highlight the intricate erosion patterns found along the border of Kane and San Juan counties.
