Describe one kind of detail on the surface of the cliffs along the Green River that is visible in the aerial photographs, but not on the topographic map.

The question is based on color Maps T-20a and T-20b (in the back of the Lab Manual) and Figure 32-3, a black-and-white stereogram, showing the entrenched meanders of the Green River near Canyonlands National Park, Utah. A larger portion of this region is shown in color Map T-7 in the back of the Lab Manual.
