1964 Map of Death Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Death Ridge anchors this 1964 survey of the high plateau country along the boundary of Garfield and Kane counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, where the headwaters of Escalante Canyon and Paradise Canyon carve into the south, while Little Valley Wash and Alvey Wash drain the northern slopes. This era of land management is reflected in the corner of Dixie National Forest and the development of water resources like the Death Ridge Reservoir. The map reveals a world of isolated named points such as Lonesome Pine Flat and Mossy Dell, and essential water sources for cattle or travelers like Horse Spring, Star Seep, and Camp Spring. Navigating the deep incisions of Right Hand Collet Canyon and Trap Canyon, the topography shows a region transitioned from wild territory to surveyed public land with established unimproved roads.
