1954 Map of La Sal Junction

About this map

Spanish Valley and the northern reaches of the La Sal Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Utah canyonlands. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Mt Tukuhnikivatz down into the complex drainage networks of Pack Creek and Coyote Wash. The map documents a period of early infrastructure and resource extraction, marked by the Grand County Airport near the border of Grand and San Juan counties and the scattered prospects and Yellow Circle Mines found along the canyon rims.
