1954 Map of La Verkin 2 SE

About this map

Toquerville serves as a primary hub of settlement in this mid-century survey, situated where the arid lowlands meet the rising slopes of the Dixie National Forest. The landscape is defined by its water management and mining history, notably the presence of the Leeds Ditch and the proximity to Leeds and Silver Reef. The latter, once a booming silver mining center, appears here in a quieter state, while an Quarry (Aban'd) near Anderson Junction points to the area's industrial extraction. To the north, the small settlement of Pintura sits near Ash Creek, illustrating the importance of water sources in this environment. The interplay between the rugged terrain of White Reef and the early infrastructure of Highway 91 reveals the historical transit patterns through Washington County before the modern interstate era.
