1954 Map of Mt Peale 1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mt Peale and Mt Mellenthin dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Grand and San Juan counties during the mid-1950s. Located within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the terrain is defined by steep alpine elevations and a dense network of mountain hydrology. Numerous high-country water bodies, such as Sawmill Blue Lake, Dark Canyon Lake, and Medicine Lake, suggest a landscape shaped by glacial activity and seasonal snowmelt. The presence of Geyser Pass and named features like Haystack Mtn indicate established routes and landmarks used by early surveyors and forest rangers. Drainage patterns are clearly visible through the courses of Geyser Creek, Twomile Creek, and the headwaters of the South Fork Creek, illustrating the complex watershed of the La Sal Mountains before modern recreational development intensified in the region.
