1952 Map of Mt Pennell 2 NE

About this map

Mt Pennell dominates this 1952 topographic study, showcasing the complex drainage systems of the Henry Mountains in southern Utah. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep erosional cuts, with Bullfrog Creek and Scratch Canyon carving significant paths through the terrain. To the south, the isolated form of No Man Mesa stands as a distinct geological landmark, separated from the main mountain mass by a network of nameless canyons. The 1950s data, mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey using aerial photographs, documents a period before significant modern development, where a single designated Trail provides the only labeled human passage through the high country. Other prominent landforms include The Horn to the north and the headwaters of Corral Canyon Creek and Browning Creek, illustrating the radial drainage pattern characteristic of this uplifted region.
