1953 Map of Beckwith Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

San Rafael Mesa dominates this central Utah landscape, defined by the deep incisions of the San Rafael River and its various tributaries. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map reveals a remote terrain where human intervention is sparse but significant. Traces of past industry and transit are evident in the notation of a Railroad Dismantled and a small Dam along the watercourses. The presence of Smith Cabin near Tidwell Draw provides a specific point of interest for local historians, marking a rare named habitation in this drainage basin. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex erosion patterns from Nates Canyon to Cottonwood Wash, showing the region as it existed before further development. This preliminary edition captures the rugged geography of Emery County at a time when older transport routes were being reclaimed by the desert floor.
