1952 Map of Dutch John Mtn

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic path through the northern reaches of the Ashley National Forest in this early 1950s survey. This specific era shows the canyon landscape before the massive alterations of mid-century water projects, featuring the natural flow at Ashley Falls and the remote Dutch John Spring Ranger Station. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of Dutch John Mountain and the Uinta Mountains, transitioning into the broad expanses of Antelope Flat to the north. Surveyors documented several springs and canyons, including Red Canyon and Jarvies Canyon, which served as vital landmarks for early forest management and stock grazing. The map also records early infrastructure such as the Lowline Trail and an Irrigation Ditch near Greendale Creek, illustrating the intersection of wild forest lands and local agricultural efforts along the Utah and Wyoming border.
