1950 Map of Enoch

About this map

The high desert landscape of Cedar Valley and the Hurricane Cliffs is captured here during a mid-century period of transition. Agricultural activity is well-defined by family-named landmarks such as Adams Ranch, Leigh Farm, and Clark Ranch, which dot the plains surrounding the settlement of Enoch. The map documents significant historical footprints in the form of the Stevensville (Site) and Fort Johnson (Site), providing valuable data for those researching early settlement patterns and pioneer history in Iron County. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, visible through the Enoch Ditch (Abandoned) and the seasonal Rush Lake. The southern portion of the sheet is largely occupied by the Cedar City Upland State Game Sanctuary, while several named springs like Bell Spr and Jones Spr highlight the critical water sources that sustained these isolated communities and ranches.
