1952 Map of Flaming Gorge

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic path through the Uinta Mountains in this early 1950s survey, long before the canyon floors were submerged by the Flaming Gorge Dam. This map captures the river's wild character as it snakes through Horseshoe Canyon and Red Canyon, passing landmarks like the Boars Tusk and the Flaming Gorge itself. The landscape is defined by its isolation, with Williams Ranch in Lucerne Valley and Trail Creek Ranch to the south serving as remote outposts within the Ashley National Forest.
