1954 Map of Carlisle 4 SE

About this map

Dugout Ranch serves as a primary human landmark in this high-desert landscape of San Juan County, Utah, during the mid-1950s. The topography is dominated by the intricate erosion patterns of Indian Creek, which winds through the canyon floor below the towering heights of Donnelly Mesa. The map reflects a remote ranching and transit environment, where vital water sources are explicitly marked, including a Windmill and Reservoir near the northern boundary. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure appears in the form of a Landing Strip and a Tunnel, while a single Prospect hints at localized interest in the geological potential of the area. Large-scale features like Hart Draw and The Island further define the complex drainage systems that characterize this corner of the Colorado Plateau.
