1954 Map of Mt. Ellen 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Factory Butte dominates the central landscape of this Wayne County region, rising prominently above the Upper Blue Hills. The map depicts a rugged desert environment defined by complex erosion patterns and dramatic geological formations in the mid-1950s. The long, narrow ridge of the Caineville Reef cuts through the western portion of the sheet, creating a significant natural barrier. Drainage systems such as Salt Wash and Neilson Wash illustrate the seasonal hydrology of this arid terrain, while the elevated plateau of North Mesa and the expansive North Bench provide distinct topographical landmarks. This preliminary survey, based on 1953 aerial photography, documents the area's transition between the borders of Emery and Wayne counties before more modern infrastructure arrived.
