1985 Map of Northdale

About this map

The Utah Colorado border dissects this high plateau landscape, where high-altitude farming and ranching meet deep canyon drainage systems. Small settlements like Northdale and Ucolo anchor the rural infrastructure of the mid-1980s, joined by the named locale of Lockerby. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, particularly where the level expanses of White Flats give way to the steep descent into Coal Bed Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. Family-history researchers may find interest in the Mountain View Cem located near the western edge of the quadrangle. The map also records the utilitarian nature of the era's land use, noting Storage Bins and scattered Drill Holes, alongside recreational markers like the Roadside Park along the primary roadway crossing into San Juan County.
