A comprehensive report on a scenic and historic region of the southwest.

From the abstract:  "The Zion Park region comprises about 2000 square miles
of plateau and canyon lands in southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona
within and bordering the Zion National Park.  It is a region of scenic beauty,
recently made accessible by the construction of Federal highways.  Within it 
are preserved the records of the prehistoric Basket Makers and Pueblos, of 
the once-numerous Piute clans, and of the early white settlements.  "

"Most of the rocks exposed in the Zion Park region are sedimentary; they 
constitute the general surface and are revealed beneath the lava flows by
stream trenching.  Sandstone predominates in thick and thin beds widely
variable in composition and texture; shale, limestone, coal, and gypsum 
are restricted to narrow belts in persistent stratigraphic positions."

Plates include "Geographic map of Zion Park region; Geologic map and 
sections of Zion Park region; Vermilion Cliffs, the northern boundary
of Uinkaret Plateau; Sections of Cretaceous rocks in Zion Park and 
adjoining regions; Correlation chart showing relation of Paleozoic,
Mesozoic, and Cenozoic rocks of Zion Park and adjoining regions.
