Description
Summarized in the introduction as “colorful and spectacular erosional forms consisting of massive ramparts, sheer-walled canyons, and delicately sculptured spires and columns containing interesting and significant records of the earth’s history in this locality.”
A mouthful, to be sure, but the following photos and descriptive text do support the claims. The map on the back cover provides a simple overview of the park with local transportation routes noted, and includes an inset map of the nearby area in the lower left.
The map was drawn by John Black in 1949, and the pamphlet was printed by the Government Printing Office the same year on behalf of the National Park Service.
