1952 Map of Moab 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Arches National Monument defines the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, where the desert plateau breaks into the deep drainages of Moab Canyon and Seven Mile Canyon. This preliminary edition captures the essential water sources that sustained early ranching and travel through the Grand County backcountry, including Dalton Well, Lower Courthouse Spring, and Upper Courthouse Spring. The landscape is organized around grazing and resource extraction, with the expansive Courthouse Pasture and Arth Pasture contrasting with specialized sites like Cedar Ridge Well and scattered indications of mineral exploration marked simply as Mine or Prospect. The map documents the intricate network of washes, such as Bartlett Wash and Seven Mile Wash, which dictated movement through the high desert before the establishment of modern infrastructure.
