1953 Map of Delta

About this map

The Sevier River dominates this mid-century western Utah landscape, feeding agricultural hubs like Delta and Hinckley before reaching the terminal Sevier Lake. The map details the complex irrigation and water management systems necessary for survival in the Sevier Valley, including Gunnison Bend Res and Long Ridge Reservoir. To the west, the arid expanse is broken by the Deep Creek Mountains and the Fish Springs Range, where the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge provides a critical oasis.
