1953 Map of Nipple Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Nipple Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert plateau country during the early 1950s, defining a landscape marked by deep canyons and expansive benches. The terrain is characterized by the broad Nipple Bench and East Clark Bench, revealing a land where water sources like Alkali Seep, Wiregrass Spr, and the strategically placed Windmill were vital for survival and livestock. The map traces the winding paths of Wahweap Creek and Hatch Creek as they cut through the rock, alongside named drainages like John Henry Canyon and Tibbet Canyon. This era represents the region just prior to the massive hydrological changes brought by the Glen Canyon dam project. To the south, Cedar Mtn stands near the border, overlooking a network of cattle-country features including Jacobs Tanks and Lone Rock Creek.
