1961 Map of Austin Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Austin Ranch and the level terrain of Manns Flat anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Green River carves a sharp path through the high desert. The landscape is defined by the prominent Blue Rim escarpment, a massive landform that separates the higher plateau from the complex drainage networks of Alkali Creek and Scott Canyon to the east. The 1961 field check captures a period of early infrastructure development in Sweetwater County, marked by the presence of a Pipeline and the essential Blue Rim Road navigating the rim. Hydrological management is evidenced by the isolated Blue Rim Res No 1, while numerous ephemeral drainages like Twentyfive Mile Draw and Chris Wash illustrate the arid erosion patterns characteristic of this region before late-20th-century expansion.
