1969 Map of Good Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Petroglyphs located along the eastern edge of the Escalante Rim signal a human presence on this high plateau landscape long before modern mapping. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent high-altitude plateaus and benches, including Dry Mesa, Little Dry Mesa, and Mc Carty Bench. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several named sources such as Cottonwood Spring, Alum Spring, and Porter Spring, alongside constructed features like Dry Mesa Reservoir No 2 and Stone Basin Reservoir. Historical travel across these ridges was largely dependent on primitive routes like the Sawmill Trail and various pack trails. The boundary between Delta County and Montrose County bisects the southern portion of the map, illustrating how local jurisdiction was partitioned across these high-country gulches and ridges.
