1964 Map of Dave Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Straight Cliffs dominate this mid-century topographic study, forming a massive, linear escarpment that dictates the hydrology and travel patterns across this portion of Garfield County. To the east of this significant rise, the landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the notable Alvey Wash and Cottonwood Wash. These desert watercourses, while often ephemeral, are the primary markers in an otherwise high-plateau environment. The 1964 field check reveals a remote territory with minimal human infrastructure, save for a solitary Jeep Trail that picks its way through the northeastern terrain. Water sources such as Oak Spring and Rock Spring are critical landmarks in this arid region, providing essential points of reference for those navigating the canyons. Steep-walled recesses like Dave Canyon, Bull Run Canyon, and Calf Canyon cut deeply into the plateau, illustrating the severe erosion characteristic of the area's geography.
