1953 Map of Fiddler Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Dirty Devil River winds through a complex network of canyons and plateaus in this early 1950s survey of the Wayne and Garfield County border. The landscape is defined by massive formations such as Sams Mesa and Bert Mesa, where isolated water sources like Sams Mesa Spring and Two Pipe Springs provided essential points of interest for early travelers and ranchers. The map reveals the era's reliance on remote infrastructure, featuring several unnamed Landing Strips carved into the flat reaches of Happy Canyon and The Big Ridge. This cartography captures the area before significant modern development, emphasizing landmarks like Fiddler Butte and The Pinnacle that served as primary navigational markers in a region otherwise characterized by the intricate drainage of Hatch Canyon and Poison Spring canyon.
