1953 Map of Circle Cliffs 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Town Bench rises as a prominent high-ground feature within this 1950s survey of the Garfield County interior. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of White Canyon and Horse Canyon in the north, while the southern portion is marked by the winding course of Death Hollow. This preliminary study, based on 1952 aerial photography, captures the intricate topography of the Horse Peaks before more formal 15-minute quadrangles were completed for the region. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of Utah, where the only orientation is provided by landmarks like the North Fork and the sheer vertical relief of the sandstone canyons. Researchers can observe the natural water patterns and unnamed tributary creeks that shaped the settlement possibilities and travel routes of this era.
