1966 Map of Dutch John

About this map

Flaming Gorge Dam stands as the central engineering marvel of this mid-1960s landscape, holding back the massive Flaming Gorge Reservoir where the Green River once flowed unimpeded. The map documents the rapid transformation of this region into a major recreation hub following the dam's completion, featuring a network of sites like Mustang Ridge Campground and Cedar Springs Campground. The company town of Dutch John serves as the focal point for local infrastructure, including the Dutch John Sch, Dutch John Airport, and support facilities like the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal Ponds. Beyond the industrial and residential core, the terrain transitions into the high-elevation reaches of Dutch John Mountain and the broad expanse of Antelope Flat, while the lower portion shows the rugged descent of the river into Red Canyon toward Greendale.
