1956 Map of Moab
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Colorado River and its deep canyons anchor this mid-century survey of the Colorado Plateau, reflecting an era of expanding federal land management and resource extraction. The settlement at Moab serves as a central hub, situated near the dramatic geology of Arches National Monument and the early boundaries of Canyonlands National Park. This landscape is defined by its deep isolation and specific economic drivers, noted by the presence of a Uranium Mine and the route of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad to the north near Thompson.
