1951 Map of Avon NW

About this map

Johnston Ranch serves as a primary marker of human settlement in this high-desert landscape of Iron County, which was surveyed in 1951. The transportation corridor is dominated by the diagonal path of the Union Pacific railroad, which cuts across the arid terrain. Natural drainage patterns are defined by the Dick Palmer Wash, which winds through the central and eastern sections. In an area where water is a vital resource, the locations of Websters Well and various windmills indicate the reliance on groundwater to support ranching operations. The topography is largely characterized by broad basins, interrupted only by the prominent rise of Table Butte in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Other navigational and utility markers include a localized Water Tank and an Airway Beacon, which reflect the mid-century infrastructure required for both rail and aerial transit across this expansive region.
