1953 Map of Hall Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The dramatic monocline of the Waterpocket Fold dominates this mid-century survey of the Garfield and Kane county border. This landscape is defined by its deep isolation and topographical complexity, where the vertical uplift of the fold meets the broad plateaus of Hall Mesa and Big Thomson Mesa. Human activity is sparse but telling of the era's industrial and agricultural attempts; an Oil Well (Aban'd) and a remote Landing Strip suggest the mid-century push for resource exploration in the high desert. Settlement is limited to the Baker Ranch in the southern portion of the quadrangle, positioned near the junction of a Jeep Trail and Hall Creek. The map meticulously details the drainage networks of Moody Canyon and Bullfrog Creek, alongside vital desert water sources like the Fountain Tanks and Clay Seep.
