1954 Map of Mt. Ellen 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Fremont River carves a deep path through Wayne County, Utah, defining a landscape of dramatic erosion and high plateaus as seen in this 1954 topographical study. The topography is dominated by the massive formations of North Caineville Mesa and South Caineville Mesa, where elevation changes highlight the stark geomorphology of the region. Evidence of early land use appears in the form of a Ditch system paralleling the river, suggesting 1950s efforts to divert water from the seasonal flows for local agricultural needs.
