1953 Map of Loa 4 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

High-altitude wilderness within the Dixie National Forest defines this 1953 survey, a landscape characterized by isolated mountain lakes and drainage basins along the border of Wayne and Garfield counties. The Aquarius Guard Station stands as a central point of human activity in this remote terrain, connected by a network of trails rather than improved roads. A significant feature of the water management in this area is a Reservoir (ABANDONED), suggesting early twentieth-century attempts to harness water in the high country of the Aquarius Plateau. Elevation changes are marked by prominent landforms such as Lookout Peak and Government Point, which overlook a series of scattered water bodies including Spring Alkali Lake, Surveyors Lake, and Torgerson Lake. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where named draws like Grove Draw and Logging Draw hint at historical land use patterns prior to the 1950s.
