1985 Map of Westwater

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the high desert of the Utah-Colorado border, establishing a dramatic corridor for transportation and movement in the mid-1980s. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the river's bends through Ruby Canyon, passing through the small settlement at Westwater. This area is characterized by high plateau features like Snyder Mesa and Wrigley Mesa, which are dissected by numerous drainage systems including Westwater Creek and Bitter Creek. To the south, the Little Dolores River winds through the landscape before reaching its confluence.
