1954 Map of Mt Peale 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Utah Colorado State Line bisects this mid-century preliminary survey, highlighting a rugged borderland where the high country of the La Sal Mountains meets the drainage basins of the Colorado Plateau. Much of the western portion of the map is dominated by the Manti-La Sal National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude plateaus like Pine Flat. The map documents a sparsely populated but active resource landscape, centered on the Buckeye Res and a lone Sawmill, suggesting the importance of water management and timber in this remote interior. To the east, the terrain drops toward the distinctive geologic depression of Sinbad Valley, while numerous drainages including Roe Creek, Mellenhink Creek, and Hop Creek carve through the sandstone layers. This map offers a technical view of the region's topography before more finalized 15-minute series maps were completed.
