1953 Map of Mt Pennell

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Mt Pennell anchors this mid-century survey of the Henry Mts, where the landscape transitions from high peaks like The Horn down to the distinct geologic upheaval of the Waterpocket Fold. The isolation of the era is evident in the sparse infrastructure, consisting largely of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty trails connecting remote outposts like The Post. Water sources, critical for survival and travel in the Garfield County backcountry, are carefully documented through series of natural reservoirs and seeps including Willow Tanks, Cottonwood Tanks, and Jackass Spring. Industrial activity is represented by the Stanton Mine located near Coal Bed Mesa, while the colorful local nomenclature of the region is preserved in labels such as Eggnog, Saleratus Wash, and the prominent Tarantula Mesa to the northwest.
