1988 Map of Upheaval Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Upheaval Dome dominates this portion of the Island in the Sky district, where the intricate drainage systems of Taylor Canyon and the Upheaval Pack illustrate the geological complexity of the High Desert. This 1980s-era mapping of Canyonlands National Park provides a detailed look at the recreational infrastructure and landmarks established by the late 20th century, including the Upheaval Picnic Area and the Upheaval Bottom Campground. In the southwest corner, the Green River carves through Stillwater Canyon, revealing the stark elevation changes between the river basin and landmarks like Candlestick Tower and Zeus and Moses. The map documents numerous footpaths, such as the Taylor Foot Trail, which connect high mesas like Buck Mesa to deep depressions like Potato Bottom Basin.
