1953 Map of Moody Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Escalante River carves a deep, winding course through this mid-century landscape of high benches and sheer canyon walls. Published in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the map reflects a period of active mineral exploration across the Colorado Plateau. This activity is evidenced by the presence of the Hotshot Prospect, Sneaky Prospect, and a remote Landing Strip near the headwaters of Moody Creek. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as the Circle Cliffs and the wide expanse of Baker Bench. South of the Garfield Co and Kane Co line, the geography shifts toward Scorpion Flat and the intricate drainages of Scorpion Gulch. Named features like Egypt and the Purple Hills highlight the distinctive character of this isolated backcountry before more modern infrastructure arrived.
