USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Blanding serves as the primary hub of this high desert landscape, appearing in the 1950s with a mix of mid-century infrastructure and ancient archaeological sites. The town site includes a Cemetery, Drive-in Theater, and a Landing Strip, reflecting post-war expansion. This survey was notably produced with cooperation from the Atomic Energy Commission, a detail that mirrors the region's mid-century uranium and resource prospecting, evidenced by a Prospect and an Oil Well near the town center.
