1952 Map of Carlisle 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Upheaval Dome dominates this 1952 topographic study, showing the striking circular geologic structure in detail before the creation of nearby national parks. Located along the winding course of the Green River, the landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes between the river bottoms and the high mesas. The survey highlights the relationship between the water and the land, noting areas like Upheaval Bottom and Valentine Bottom where the river loops tightly against steep cliffs. This preliminary edition, mapped by the Geological Survey using early 1950s aerial photography, captures the intricate drainages of Taylor Canyon and Razak Canyon. Geologic features such as Buck Mesa and Steer Mesa are clearly delineated, providing a clear view of the high plateau country prior to modern recreational development. Researchers can trace the narrow cattle paths and natural access points like Holman Spring and the vast White Rim bench.
