1964 Map of Canaan Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-desert landscape in Garfield County, where the 1964 topography reveals a complex network of drainage systems and early industrial markers. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Coal Bed Canyon and Mitchell Canyon, which feed into larger arteries such as Alvey Wash. Water is the primary architect here, with Upper Valley Creek and Canaan Creek carving paths through the central and northern sections of the quadrangle. While largely an expanse of natural features, the presence of an Oil Well and a Prospect indicates the era's ongoing exploration for subsurface resources. High-altitude plateaus like Cherry Flat provide contrast to the narrow creek beds and the numerous unnamed canyons that segment the forest, illustrating the land's transition between elevated flats and the wash-riddled lowlands typical of south-central Utah.
