1947 Map of Goshen Pass

About this map

Cedar Valley defines this portion of the Utah landscape, characterized by its wide basins and isolated water sources. This 1947 survey, later updated with photorevised details, reveals a sparse network of infrastructure primarily supporting ranching and resource management. The map highlights the intermittent hydrologic features of the region, including the depression known as the Sinks and several strategically placed Well sites and a Reservoir for livestock or local needs. In the southeast corner, the terrain transitions at Goshen Pass, providing a natural corridor through the surrounding hills. This sheet is particularly valuable for understanding the distribution of water improvements and dirt tracks in a high-desert environment before modern development altered the drainage patterns.
