1954 Map of La Verkin 3 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs dominate this mid-century landscape, forming a massive geological spine that separates the high plateau from the western basins. This 1954 mapping project captures the borderlands of Washington County and Mohave County along the Utah-Arizona state line, an area defined by its dramatic elevation shifts and sparse water resources. The terrain is marked by significant features like Sand Mountain and the deep drainage of Sand Hollow, showing a region where movement was restricted to a few Jeep Trails and the natural passage at The Divide. Human presence is evidenced primarily by ranching infrastructure, including the Gould Reservoir and scattered Stock Tanks, highlighting the importance of water management in this arid environment before the expansion of modern highway networks or large-scale irrigation projects.
