Show TO MAKE MAP , . OF HON PARK Zion National Park, July 1 Word was received at the office of the Park Superintendent, here today, that work on the proposed topographic map of Zion National Park will be started after .luly 1st. All work on preparing this map will be done by the Topographic Branch of the U. S. Geological Survey, Sur-vey, which has made maps of all the other National parks. It is expected that the steepness of the canyon walls and the rog.ued-ness rog.ued-ness of the back country will combine to make a real job of the undertak-I undertak-I ing. However, it is not expected to . be as difficult as the mapping of the Grand Canyon which took several years to accomplish. For the past few years there has been a steadily increasing demand for this map for Zion, and for this reason, as well as its usefulness in administering the park, The Interior Department decided to have the work done as soon as funds become available. avail-able.
