1953 Map of Circle Cliffs 1 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Circle Cliffs dominates this 1953 topographic study of the Utah interior, revealing a landscape defined by sharp drainage patterns and significant elevation changes. The intricate network of Muley Twist Canyon and Hall Creek illustrates the complex erosion of the Colorado Plateau, while Oyster Ridge serves as a prominent vertical marker in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Geologic formations like Swap Mesa provide a flat-topped contrast to the surrounding dissected terrain. Notable for its lack of human settlement during the early 1950s, the map indicates sparse infrastructure, with The Post being a rare named point of interest. A solitary Dam along Moody Creek suggests small-scale water management in an otherwise arid environment. This preliminary edition, based on 1952 aerial photography, captures the region's physical character before more modern roads and accessibility changed the nature of this backcountry area.
