1954 Map of La Verkin 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Virgin River corridor dominates this mid-1950s survey, illustrating the complex geography of Southern Utah where the Dixie National Forest meets early ranching and mining settlements. The community of Harrisburg sits along the foot of White Reef, while Harrisburg Junction marks a key intersection near the water sources of Quail Creek. The map documents a transition in land use, showing both livestock-related features like Bastion Ranch and industrial traces including a Coal Mine and scattered Prospect sites. Evidence of water management for agriculture is clear through the presence of the Ditch near Berry Spring and multiple mountain springs such as Willow Spring and Sand Mountain Spring. Dramatic elevation changes are defined by Black Ridge and the broad expanses of Purgatory Flat and Yant Flat, providing a detailed look at the trail systems and jeep tracks that connected these remote reaches of Washington County.
