1954 Map of Elk Ridge 3 NE

About this map

The Kigalia Ranger Station serves as a central landmark within this 1954 survey of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, where massive plateaus like Babylon Pasture and Kigalia Point terminate in the deep, winding reaches of Dark Canyon and Hammond Canyon. The drainage patterns shown here illustrate the erosion of the Colorado Plateau, with several reservoirs and a well appearing as scarce water resources in an otherwise arid environment.
