1954 Map of La Verkin 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Hurricane Mesa dominates the landscape of this southern Utah survey, its steep walls and high plateaus captured in dense topographic detail. Established by the Geological Survey in the mid-1950s, this sheet documents the northern reaches of Zion National Monument before the consolidation of the modern park boundaries. The terrain is marked by severe verticality, with named peaks like Red Butte rising above the surrounding canyons and flats. Human presence is sparse and utilitarian, represented by a single Jeep Trail winding through the western canyons and isolated water sources like Lamareau Tank and various ponds or springs. The geography here transitions between high mesas and the sunken corridors of Cave Valley, providing a look at the region's complex drainage patterns and natural landmarks prior to significant modern recreation development.
