1951 Map of Avon

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Escalante Desert terrain dominates this 1951 topographic study, revealing a sparsely settled landscape in Iron County defined by transport and water management. The Union Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the arid valley floor, serving as the primary corridor through the region. In the southwestern corner, the settlement of Avon marks a rare point of habitation near the drainage of Dick Palmer Wash. The presence of a isolated Windmill and the seasonal path of Iron Springs Creek highlight the critical role of water sources in this high-desert environment during the mid-century. This map captures the intersection of early industrial rail infrastructure and the natural hydrological patterns of the eastern Great Basin before modern expansion changed the face of the region.
