1953 Map of Milford Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mining operations in the Star Range define the western portion of this mid-century survey, with several named sites including the Maud-S Mine, Vicksburg Mine, and Gold Crown Mine clustered among the peaks. These industrial landmarks overlook the Escalante Desert and the wide, flat expanse of Milford Flat to the east. Transportation and water management are central to the landscape, marked by the prominent corridor of the Union Pacific railroad and the Trans River Canal near the Beaver River. Small settlements and rail points like Upton, Cook Corner, and Laho provide geographical anchors for local family history. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Tadpole Springs and Hay Springs, alongside several dry wells like Hearn Well, illustrates the critical importance of water rights and irrigation in this arid Utah environment.
