1954 Map of Beaver Dam Mts NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Shivwits Indian Reservation Boundary dominates the eastern half of this 1954 landscape, reflecting the federal land management and tribal sovereignty in Washington County during the mid-twentieth century. The settlement of Shivwits sits along the Santa Clara River, where a small Cem and a Gravel Pit indicate the local community's essential infrastructure and activities. This preliminary survey emphasizes the arid hydrology of the region, marked by intermittent water sources like Jackson Springs and Camp Spring, as well as several man-made Reservoirs and small Res catchments. The topography rises toward the north and west, away from the Santa Clara Bench, as the terrain transitions into the steep relief of Whitmore Canyon. The mapping of these remote water points and simple road tracks provides a snapshot of a high-desert environment before modern development and expansion.
