1953 Map of Circle Cliffs 4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Escalante River carves through a landscape of dramatic uplift and erosion along the boundary of Garfield and Kane Counties. This 1953 survey, mapped just before the completion of the regional 15-minute series, documents a remote section of the Colorado Plateau defined by expansive plateaus such as Baker Bench and Scorpion Flat. The topographic detail reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Twentyfive Mile Wash and the flat-topped mesas of Early Weed Bench and Rock Bench. These features illustrate the geomorphology of the area's high desert benches, which have long dictated the movement of people and livestock through these isolated corridors of southern Utah.
