1954 Map of Elk Ridge 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest defines the high-altitude topography of this southeastern Utah landscape, where vertical relief is marked by prominent benchmarks like Bears Ears VABM 8920 and The Hub VABM 8389. The map details a complex system of plateaus and drainage systems, notably Deer Flat and the intricate reaches of Deer Canyon and Cherry Canyon. Pockets of level ground among the steep terrain appear as named open spaces, including Upper Parks and the curiously named Lower Lost Parks. This preliminary edition, derived from 1951 aerial photography, serves as a record of mid-century land use in the high desert, identifying isolated water sources such as Twin Springs and small reservoirs near the enigmatic settlement or landmark known as The Hideout. The isolation of the terrain is further highlighted by labels like Piñon Point and Brushy Knoll, reflecting a landscape primarily shaped by natural features and sparse grazing or forest management infrastructure.
