1954 Map of La Verkin 4 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Canaan Mountain dominates the eastern horizon of this 1954 survey, where the high plateaus of southern Utah meet the Arizona border. The landscape is defined by the massive plateau of Big Plain and the deep incision of Canaan Gap to the south. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Canaan Ranch and the crossroads at Big Plain Junction. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by numerous isolated springs and several small reservoirs located along Canaan Wash. The map also captures the prominent landmark of Smithsonian Butte near the northern boundary, illustrating the dramatic geological transitions and cattle-ranching territory of Washington County before modern development reached this corner of the state.
