1955 Map of Jones Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument straddles the border of Utah and Colorado in this mid-century topographic study, capturing the intersection of the Whirlpool Canyon Green River and the deeply carved canyons of the Uintah Mountains. Remote outposts like the Jones Hole Ranger Station and Snow Ranch highlight the isolated nature of this high-desert landscape during the 1950s. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from Diamond Mountain down to the Jones Hole Creek, where several perennial sources like Jones Hole Springs and Burnt Springs emerge. The presence of the Gaging Sta along the river and the primitive Jones Hole Trail suggest the area's primary use for conservation and water management. For those interested in regional history, the map preserves the location of family operations like Chew Ranch and landmarks such as Harpers Corner before increased modern tourism altered the accessibility of these canyons.
