1952 Map of Moab 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Ten Mile Canyon and Spring Canyon carve through this high desert plateau, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and isolated ranching outposts. This 1952 survey shows a region where survival depended on remote water points like Deadman Spring, Dripping Spring, and Dubinkey Well. The map captures several Landing Strips and simple pack trails, indicating how aviation and traditional travel coexisted in this difficult-to-access part of Grand County. Small structures including Cabins, a Barn, and a Cabin near Seep represent the sparse human footprint in an area dominated by features like The Needles and the broad drainage of Dubinkey Wash. The preliminary nature of this topographic study reflects the early post-war effort to document the remote interior of the American West.
