1953 Map of Circle Cliffs 4 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Colt Mesa rises as a prominent landmark in this 1953 survey of Garfield County, Utah. The terrain is defined by a series of high plateaus and deep drainage networks, most notably the wide expanse of the Four Mile Bench and the colorful elevations of the Purple Hills. The drainage pattern is led by Silver Falls Creek and Moodys Creek, with Middle Moody Creek cutting through the southeast. This preliminary edition, mapped by the Geological Survey using multiplex methods from 1952 aerial photographs, captures the remote character of the Colorado Plateau before later developments. The intricate contour work illustrates the erosional forces that shaped this part of the Circle Cliffs, providing a detailed record of the natural landforms as they existed in the early 1950s.
