1952 Map of Dutch John Mtn

About this map

Dutch John Mountain dominates this 1952 landscape along the border of Utah and Wyoming, shortly before the landscape was altered by the creation of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The Green River carves a deep path through Red Canyon, passing historic landmarks such as Ashley Falls and Gold Point. This survey captures the region's early administrative and agricultural character, featuring the Dutch John Spring Ranger Station and an irrigation ditch near the settlement of Greendale. Cattle and sheep ranching footprints are evident across Antelope Flat and the various benches, while the Lowline Trail and several jeep roads provide the only access through the Uinta Mountains and Ashley National Forest. The map preserves the original course of the river and the complex network of springs like Jarvies Spring and Grindstone Spring that supported life in this high-elevation terrain.
