1952 Map of Bull Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Henry Mountains and the arid expanse of the Burr Desert dominate this 1950s survey of Garfield and Wayne Counties. Published in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the map reveals a remote landscape of extreme topography, from the high timber of Bull Mountain down to the broken drainages of Crescent Wash and Death Canyon. Ranching activity is documented at the Fairview Ranch, Trachyte Ranch, and the Granite Ranch (Site), suggesting the seasonal movement of livestock through these canyons. Names like Poison Spring Benches, Little Egypt, and Pyserts Hole reflect the colorful local nomenclature of the canyon country, while several unmarked Mine and Prospect symbols hint at the uranium exploration boom that characterized the Colorado Plateau during this era.
