1948 Map of Huntington

About this map

The Huntington River valley defines the character of this 1948 survey, where small agricultural and timber-reliant settlements like Huntington Center and Hanksville are concentrated along the narrow floor between massive ridges. Life in this period revolved around the river and the steep mountain flanks, evidenced by a Sawmill near the southern edge and a local Quarry tucked against the hills. To the east, the landscape transitions into the high peaks of the Camels Hump State Forest, where the summit of Camels Hump (The Lion) and The Long Trail served as prominent landmarks for hikers and forestry workers alike.
