1954 Map of Mt Peale 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Hart Spring and the rugged drainage of Hart Draw anchor this mid-century topographic study of San Juan County. Mapping by the Geological Survey in 1954 reveals a landscape shaped by water scarcity and resource extraction, where isolated water sources like The Seeps and scattered Reservoirs were vital for land use. A single Mine and various Well sites suggest the industrial and ranching activity present during the post-war era. The terrain is dominated by the prominent elevation of Peters Point and the distinctive natural passage at Photographer Gap. This preliminary edition captures the precise topography of the high desert before larger-scale developments, providing a detailed record of the unimproved roads and geographic features that defined the southeastern Utah frontier in the 1950s.
