1971 Map of Casto Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Dixie National Forest defines the rugged verticality of this 1971 survey, where the red-rock landscape is carved by complex drainages and named landmarks. The map illustrates a labyrinth of geological features, most notably the deeply etched Casto Canyon and the evocatively named Butch Cassidy Draw in the southeast. These canyons are flanked by elevated plateaus such as Clark Bench and Horse Bench, while water sources like Bill Pinney Spring, Casto Springs, and Hancock Spring highlight the critical points of hydration in an arid environment. The network of Jeep Trails and primitive trails suggests a landscape navigated primarily by stockmen and early backcountry travelers. For local historians, the inclusion of family-named features like Peterson Wash and Butler Wash provide specific genealogical anchors within the Garfield County wilderness.
