1954 Map of La Verkin 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Virgin River carves a central path through this mid-1950s survey of Washington County, Utah, defining the development of the settlement at Virgin. The landscape is dominated by the massive flat-topped formations of Hurricane Mesa to the north and Gooseberry Mesa to the south, creating a constrained valley for agricultural and industrial activity. A network of irrigation and industry is visible through the Virgin Canal and the Virgin Oil Field located north of the river near North Creek. Local history is anchored by the small community of Mountain Dell and a local Cem, while water sources like Gooseberry Spring and Willow Spring mark vital points in an otherwise arid terrain. This preliminary edition captures the area just before significant modern expansion, focusing on the riparian corridor and the geological barriers that shaped early Utah ranching and resource extraction.
