1954 Map of Mt Peale 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The high elevations of the Manti-La Sal National Forest dominate this mid-century survey of San Juan County. The terrain transitions from the forested uplands across the National Forest Boundary into a landscape defined by dramatic erosional features like Browns Hole and the deep cuts of Rattlesnake Canyon and Joe Canyon. Human activity in this remote area is marked by a network of water management, including a prominent Ditch and several reservoirs that supported the local ranching and agricultural economy. Near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the La Sal Sch serves as a focal point for the community, while a Quarry suggests the localized extraction of materials during the 1950s. This preliminary edition provides a clear view of the high-desert infrastructure before the expansion of more modern road networks.
