1953 Map of Firewater Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Desolation Canyon and its dramatic serpentine meanders through the Green River dominate this 1950s survey of eastern Utah. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between high plateaus and deep drainage systems, including the massive Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation and the Uncompahgre Addition. Vital water sources such as Charlie Brown Spring, Secret Spring, and Bishop Spring indicate the essential points for survival and ranching in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like Peters Point and North Point provide orientation across the broken terrain of Firewater Canyon and Little Rock House Canyon. This edition illustrates the complex topography before more modern developments, preserving the nomenclature of isolated basins like Tabyago Basin and livestock-grazing reaches like Wolf Flat.
