Continua a leggereTitled simply “Page,” this U.S. Geological Survey map was created in 1985 and published in 1986, using survey data to present a provisional yet richly detailed portrait of northern Arizona’s canyon country. Centered on Page, Arizona, it captures a landscape where human settlement, federal recreation lands, and monumental geology converge. Lake Powell spreads across the map as a dominant presence, its intricate shoreline contrasting with the angular precision of roads, residential areas, and facilities in and around Page. The map belongs to a period when the region’s identity was increasingly shaped by recreation, water management, and tourism, making it a compelling record of the mid-1980s geography of one of the American Southwest’s most dramatic settings.
The U.S. Geological Survey brought to this work more than a century of cartographic authority, applying its disciplined topographic language to a terrain of remarkable complexity. Contour lines trace the broken relief of the high desert, revealing mesas, slopes, washes, and canyon rims with scientific clarity. Relief shading and elevation points help translate the vertical drama of Glen Canyon and its surroundings into a legible field of form and distance. Water bodies are sharply delineated, emphasizing the contrast between arid plateau and the sinuous reach of Lake Powell. The result is a map that feels both technical and atmospheric: a measured government document that nonetheless evokes the stark grandeur of sandstone country.
Page itself appears as a planned and purposeful community set amid an otherwise rugged landscape, its streets and built features standing out against the surrounding desert topography. Established in connection with the large-scale transformation of Glen Canyon, the town had by the 1980s become a gateway to Lake Powell, the Colorado River, and the recreational lands beyond. The map records residential areas, minor roads, trails, and facilities, offering a snapshot of how settlement had taken shape around the demands of access, infrastructure, and tourism. In this sense, “Page” is not only a topographic map but also a cultural document, showing how a modern town was fitted into a landscape defined by deep time.
Lake Powell and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area give the map much of its visual and historical power. The reservoir’s branching arms and coves articulate the flooded canyon system, while surrounding contours hint at the depth and steepness of the underlying terrain. The Colorado River, one of the defining waterways of the American West, anchors the broader geography and connects this local scene to a vast hydrological and political story. Antelope Island, shoreline features, and nearby desert expanses underscore the interplay of water and stone that makes the region so distinctive. The map captures Lake Powell at a moment when recreation, environmental change, and public land management were deeply intertwined.
The inclusion of the Navajo Reservation adds another important dimension, situating Page within a borderland of federal, tribal, recreational, and municipal jurisdictions. Roads and trails trace patterns of movement through a landscape that is at once remote and heavily visited, while the topographic detail reveals why access has always been shaped by canyons, cliffs, and water. As a mid-1980s USGS provisional map, it preserves geographic information from a particular moment, before subsequent decades of growth, fluctuating lake levels, and expanding tourism altered the region’s appearance and use. Elegant in its restraint and exacting in its data, “Page” offers a refined window onto one of Arizona’s most iconic high-desert landscapes.

Looking for a particular place? Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map. If you are unsure, ask our workshop to check before you order.
Detailed maps are especially rewarding at larger sizes, where names, boundaries and decorative features have more room to be appreciated. Use the close-up preview and size guide to choose the right scale for your wall.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. See personalised map examples.
Every piece is printed to museum-grade archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte paper. Choose an unframed map print, framed map or canvas using the finish options above. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
With its rich detail and strong sense of place, this map makes a considered gift for a new home, anniversary, retirement or anyone with a personal connection to the area shown. Still deciding? Explore our collection of rare old and vintage maps to discover another place, period or style.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Every Unique Maps piece begins with an authentic cartographic source or an original design from our London studio.
For our historic maps, we source rare originals from libraries, archives, auction houses and private collections around the world. We carefully restore each map for print—repairing age-related damage, balancing colour and improving clarity while preserving its original detail, texture and character.
Once restored, the map is prepared for your chosen size and finish. Your piece is then printed and, where selected, framed close to its delivery destination.
Our map prints use acid-free 200gsm archival matte paper and fade-resistant pigment inks, creating a rich, non-glossy finish designed to last. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
Canvas, cotton-rag and other specialist presentations are also available. Learn more about our materials and finishes.
Personalising your map
You can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. For personalised designs, we send a proof before printing and you can request changes before approval.
For more complex bespoke commissions, contact our design team.
Original or Aged
Choose Original for true-to-source colour, or Aged for a warmer, richer antique character created with our specialist ageing process. See examples of our Aged maps.
