1987 Map of The Rincon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Rincon dominates the landscape as a massive circular entrenched meander, a geologic formation that provides evidence of the ancient course of the Colorado River before it carved its present path. By the late 1980s, the rising waters of Lake Powell had flooded the deep gorges of Glen Canyon, transforming the canyon floor into a complex system of navigable waterways. This map details the intersection of this desert reservoir with dramatic landforms such as the Waterpocket Fold and Pollywog Bench.
