1954 Map of La Verkin 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Virgin River carves the northern edge of this landscape, where the settlement of Washington transitions into the productive irrigation lands of Washington Fields. Dominating the central topography is the expansive Warner Valley, flanked by the prominent elevation of Warner Ridge and the heights of Sand Mountain. This 1954 survey documents a critical period of infrastructure and early aviation history, featuring a CAA Intermediate Field and a Dam near the river. Along the southern boundary between Washington and Mohave counties, the presence of Fort Pearce (Ruins) and the Herd House near Fort Pearce Wash provides a tangible link to the pioneer era and ranching history of the Utah-Arizona borderlands. From the distinctive peak of Shinob Kibe to the varied Stock Tanks scattered across the valley, the map details a terrain shaped by water management and desert navigation.
