1952 Map of Enoch NW

About this map

Escalante Desert sands meet the rising elevations of the Mud Spring Hills in this 1952 study of Iron County. The landscape is defined by its water sources, which were critical for ranching and travel in this arid region of Utah. Named points like Norte Well, Stubbs Well, and Mud Spring highlight the essential infrastructure that sustained life and livestock. The terrain transitions from the open flats into the relief of The Bald Hills to the south, carved by seasonal drainages such as Mud Spring Wash, Horse Hollow, and Lost Spring Hollow. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range lines before significant modern development, showing the isolated windmills and wells that marked the human footprint on the desert floor during the mid-twentieth century.
