1953 Map of Mt Pennell 2 SW
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Halls Creek and the narrow corridor of Grand Wash define the central topography of this Garfield County interior. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map documents a transition from the elevated expanse of Swap Mesa in the northwest to the intricate drainages of Butte Canyon in the southeast. A rare human landmark in this isolated landscape is The Post, located where the wash broadens near the base of the mesa. The mapping of Thomson Seep, Muley Tanks, and Cottonwood Tanks highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources for both livestock and travelers in this arid region before modern infrastructure was established. A single Dam is noted in the southern reach, suggesting small-scale water management during this era of post-war topographical survey.
