1952 Map of Grover

About this map

Grover sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape where the Dixie National Forest meets the desert geology of Wayne and Garfield counties. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water sources, from the deep Blind Lake and Fish Creek Lake to high-elevation pastures like Beef Meadows and Boulder Meadows. Human presence in the early 1950s is marked by essential forest infrastructure, including the Wildcat Ranger Sta and the Oak Creek Forest Camp. A single shaft noted in the Miners Mountain area points to local prospecting interests, while the rugged Cocks Comb and Chokecherry Point provided critical landmarks for navigation across the plateau. The map captures the area before modern development, showing a network of primitive roads like Chokecherry and isolated grazing lands such as Wildcat Pasture and Pleasant Pasture.
