1985 Map of The Windows Section

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Arches National Park reveals a complex landscape of geological features as documented in the mid-1980s. This survey focuses on The Windows Section, where remarkable formations like Double Arch and the North Window are situated near Elephant Butte. The map meticulously details the park's central canyon systems, including the high ridges of The Great Wall and the intricate drainage of Salt Valley Wash and Cache Valley Wash. To the south, the monoliths of Courthouse Towers stand near Park Avenue and the Three Gossips, illustrating the density of named features that define this region. Along the eastern boundary, the Colorado River carves a deep path beneath Dry Mesa, providing a stark contrast to the interior basins like Herdina Park and the high elevations of the Fiery Furnace to the north.
