1954 Map of Mt Peale 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The boundary between Grand County and San Juan County runs through this high-desert terrain during a period of active resource exploration in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the massive plateau of Bridger Jack Mesa and Flat Iron Mesa, where the topography drops sharply into deep Canyons and secluded Valleys. This 1954 survey captures the infrastructure of the era's regional aviation and extraction industries, featuring the Grand County Airport alongside scattered indicators of subsurface activity like the Star Mine, various Tunnels, and a lonely Oil Well. Water is a precious commodity in this environment, marked by isolated Windmills, several Reservoirs, and the distinct natural features of Cane Springs and Hole-in-the-Rock. Primitive transport routes including a Jeep Trail provide the only access across the rugged Black Ridge area.
