1954 Map of Canyon of Lodore North

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Green River watercourses dominate this mid-century survey of the Moffat County backcountry, cutting through the dramatic geology of the Canyon of Lodore within Dinosaur National Monument. The landscape is a study in isolation and high-altitude ranching history, where family names are etched onto the terrain at Miles Place and Offield Place. Several sites are already marked as defunct by the 1950s, including Craig Place (Aband), Ecklund Cabin (Aband), and the Wade and Curtis Cabin (Aband) near the riverbank. Significant navigational hazards for early river runners are clearly identified at Upper Disaster Falls and Lower Disaster Falls. Beyond the deep canyons, the map traces livestock and travel routes like the Hoy Trail crossing Hoy Flat, providing a detailed look at the ranching infrastructure that persisted on Diamond Mountain and Offield Mountain before the area's transition to purely protected parkland.
