1969 Map of Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this arid Emery County landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. Small rail-side points like Desert and Sphinx highlight the region's historical reliance on the tracks for connectivity through the high desert. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the towering Book Cliffs and Middle Mtn create a formidable natural barrier, with the deeply incised Blue Castle Canyon cutting through the stone.
