1963 Map of Mc Cullen Bluff

About this map

Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge follows the winding path of the Green River through this high desert corridor, protecting a critical riparian habitat. The topography is defined by the prominent McCullen Bluff overlooking the water and the elevated plateau of Dodge Rim to the south. Human activity in this arid landscape is evidenced by infrastructure like the Farson Cutoff Road and the Hamp Ditch, which reflects the vital importance of water management in the region. The map highlights the natural meandering of the river at Horseshoe Bend and the drainage patterns of seasonal washes such as Shute Creek and Fourmile Gulch. This 1963 survey, updated with 1977 aerial data, documents the intersection of wildlife conservation and early resource exploration in Sweetwater County.
