1954 Map of Clay Hills 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Landing Strip provides a rare human landmark in this remote corner of San Juan County, Utah, where deep canyons and high mesas dominate the landscape. Surveyed by the Geological Survey in the early 1950s using aerial photography, the map illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of North Gulch and the winding course of Castle Creek. These water-carved features and the presence of Burnt Spring highlight the critical importance of water sources for travel and habitation in the high desert. The inclusion of a remote airstrip suggests the logistical challenges of surveying this area and its potential utility for early uranium prospecting or light aircraft access during the mid-century era.
