1952 Map of Moab 4 SW

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this 1952 preliminary survey, defining the rugged geography where Grand and San Juan Counties meet. The map documents a landscape of immense vertical relief, featuring named landmarks like the Jug Handle and the Billboard rising above the river's eastern banks. While much of the terrain is defined by sprawling plateaus like Big Flat and Arts Pasture, early industrial activity is visible via a pipe line and isolated structures such as an oil well and oil tank located near Jackson Hole.
