1980 Map of Loa
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Rabbit Valley and the surrounding high plateaus form the heart of this 1980 survey, where the Fremont River carves its way through a sequence of dramatic geological features. The rural communities of Loa, Lyman, Bicknell, and Torrey anchor the agricultural corridor along Utah 24, while the eastern reaches of the map transition into the striking topography of Capitol Reef National Park. The survey illustrates a landscape of managed lands, from the timbered heights of the Fishlake National Forest to the unique drainage patterns of the Waterpocket Fold and Cathedral Valley. Notable water features include Otter Creek Reservoir and high-elevation bodies like Blind Lake on Boulder Mountain. This edition reveals the spatial relationship between the Awapa Plateau and the Aquarius Plateau, showing how isolation and topography influenced the settlement patterns of Wayne County and Piute County.
