1953 Map of Mt Pennell 3 SW

About this map

Garfield Co and Kane Co meet along a jagged boundary in this 1953 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by deep erosion and drainage patterns in southern Utah. The map is dominated by the intricate network of East Moody Canyon and its tributaries, where the terrain drops sharply into complex ravine systems. Watercourses like Miller Creek have carved distinct paths through the high plateau, illustrating the natural geology of the region before more modern infrastructure arrived. At an elevation of 6,748 feet, the survey station Vabm 6748 serves as a primary reference point for the surrounding contours. This preliminary edition, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, captures the area in a raw state, highlighting the geographic isolation and the drainage network that shaped the movement of early travelers and surveyors through this section of the state.
