1953 Map of Circle Cliffs 1 NW
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Flats dominates the high-plateau landscape of this Garfield County interior during the early 1950s. This preliminary survey, based on 1952 aerial photography, captures a remote stretch of Utah's geologic heart before more permanent road networks were established. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of White Canyon Flat in the southeast into the intricately carved drainages of Horse Canyon. Sparse but vital water improvements are documented, including several unnamed reservoirs marked simply as Dam and a solitary Seep, which likely served as critical watering points for local livestock in this arid environment. The landmark Lamp Stand stands as a prominent navigational point amidst the complex topography of ridges and canyons that define this portion of the Circle Cliffs region.
