1954 Map of Mt. Waas 3 SW

About this map

Wilson Mesa and South Mesa dominate the eastern landscape of this 1954 survey, rising above the intricate drainage networks of the canyon country. To the west, the outskirts of a growing community are marked by Moab City Park, while the surrounding terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Negro Bill Canyon and Jackass Canyon. This preliminary edition captures the area's transition into the mid-century, showing a Landing Strip perched on the high ground of the mesa, indicating the increasing importance of aerial access in this isolated environment.
