1966 Map of Alton

About this map

The small settlement of Alton sits at the edge of the Alton Amphitheater, where the high desert terrain meets the dramatic verticality of the Sunset Cliffs. This mid-1960s landscape shows a rural community defined by its proximity to the Dixie National Forest and the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The map reveals a reliance on the land, evidenced by several Gravel Pits, a local Mine, and the presence of the Swapp Ranch to the south.
