1964 Map of Calico Peak

About this map

Calico Peak rises above a dramatic Southern Utah landscape defined by the winding course of the Paria River and the stark geological ridge of The Cocscomb. Surveyed in the late 1950s and mid-1960s, this area reveals a network of deep drainage systems including Lower Death Valley and Upper Death Valley, which feed into the rugged Hackberry Canyon. The map documents a primitive transportation network, primarily consisting of a Jeep Trail that skirts the river and canyons, reflecting the area's isolation before modern accessibility. Notable landmarks like No Mans Mesa and a Natural Arch illustrate the erosion-carved terrain, while a lonely Campground near Cottonwood Creek provides one of the few signs of recreational use in this territory of the Deer Range Canyon.
