1951 Map of Avon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Escalante Desert dominates this 1951 aerial and ground survey, revealing a landscape defined by the logistics of the Union Pacific railroad. The steel rails bisect the terrain, supported by infrastructure critical for steam and early diesel operations, including several Windmills, a Water Tank, and an Airway Beacon positioned for early aerial navigation. This period shows a region where water was the primary currency of survival and industry, evidenced by the strategic placement of Websters Well and a simple Well to the north.
