1948 Map of Bridal Veil Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Provo River carves a deep canyon through the Wasatch Range on this 1948 topographic survey, creating the dramatic landscape that defines this region of Utah. The Denver & Rio Grande Western RR follows the river's path, serving several small settlements and recreational points including Vivian Park, Wildwood, and Springdell. The geography is dominated by the massive Cascade Mountain, which rises sharply above the canyon floor. Notable landmarks such as Bridal Veil Falls and Upper Falls mark the steep descent of side streams into the main river valley. This era reveals a balance between early 20th-century transportation and the growing tourism industry, highlighted by the Alpine Scenic Highway and early recreation sites like Hope Picnic Area. Further south, the map details the complex drainage of Rock Canyon and its many forks below the peak of Y Mountain, illustrating the intricate terrain managed within the Uinta National Forest.
