1953 Map of Ferris

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Ferris Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Carbon County region, giving way to a desert environment characterized by extensive Sand Dunes and seasonal water features. The 1953 survey, updated with 1980 aerial data, reveals a transition from the high ridges of Miners Canyon down to the arid flats. This area represents a post-frontier industrial landscape where early ranching homesteads like Larsen Place and the McCargar Place exist alongside energy extraction infrastructure. Evidence of the mid-century petroleum industry is prominent, including the General Petroleum Oil Field and various Oil Wells. The small settlement of Ferris serves as a central point in a territory marked by early 20th-century progress and subsequent shifts in activity, such as the now-labeled Marvin Place (Aban'd) and various Pipe Lines crossing the terrain toward Table Mountain.
