1954 Map of La Verkin 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Virgin River carves through this mid-century landscape of Utah's Washington County, connecting several agricultural and mining outposts. The settlement of Hurricane is shown with its grid of residential lots and irrigation canals, including the Gould Wash, while to the north, La Verkin sits near a prominent Power Plant. Local industry is evidenced by the mining history at Buckeye Reef, featuring the Doyle Shaft and the Vanderbilt Mine. Volcanic activity has shaped the terrain, clearly visible in landmarks like Volcano Mtn and the uniquely named Mollies Nipple. Water management is central to the area's development, as seen in the Leeds Ditch near the town of Leeds and the Leeds Spring. The map also captures infrastructure such as the Hurricane Airport and a network of jeep trails crossing the desert plateaus.
