1957 Map of Eastland

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Eastland and the nearby communities of Lockerby and Northdale anchor this high-plateau landscape on the border of Utah and Colorado. The map reflects a mid-century period of local infrastructure, showing the Valley View Cemetery and rural education hubs like the East Summit School and Burn School. This survey was conducted in collaboration with the Atomic Energy Commission, hinting at the era's regional interest in mineral resources. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Peterson Wash and Coal Bed Creek, which cut through a series of summits and points. Notable landmarks include the family-named Pearsons Point and Ginger Hill, while the presence of a Shaft and several pipelines indicates an active industrial footprint. From the high elevation of Piute Knoll to the lower reaches of Montezuma Canyon, the map preserves a specific moment of agricultural and industrial settlement in San Juan County.
