1954 Map of Mt. Ellen 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Giles (Site) stands as a poignant marker of human presence within this mid-century Wayne County landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Fremont River. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, where the expansive Blue Mesa and Blue Valley dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. These large-scale landforms reveal a complex drainage system fed by intermittent water sources such as Barton Creek and the Berl Avery Seep. Prominent landmarks like Steamboat Point and Factory Bench provide essential orientation points for understanding the topographical layout of the region during this 1954 survey. The map's detail illustrates a transition from the river bottomlands to high-plateau terrain, capturing a moment in time when only remnant footprints of earlier settlements remained visible amidst the high desert features.
