1954 Map of Notom 1 NW

About this map

Salt Wash winds through the high desert landscape of central Utah in this 1954 topographic survey, revealing a drainage system defined by intermittent water sources and dramatic elevation changes. The map captures a transition point between the Emery and Wayne county lines, where the vast drainage of Hartnet Draw converges toward the deeper incision of Deep Creek. Evidence of the area's scarce but vital water resources is noted by Campers Spring and several identified Seeps, which likely served as critical stopping points for travelers and livestock moving through this arid environment. The intricate contour lines illustrate a terrain of complex plateaus and erosional breaks, typical of the Colorado Plateau's geomorphology.
