1952 Map of Notom 1 SW

About this map

The Fremont River carves through this high-desert landscape in central Utah, revealing a complex network of mesas and drainage systems during the early 1950s. This preliminary edition, derived from 1951 aerial photography, documents a terrain dominated by significant topographic features like the elevated Horse Mesa and the wide expanse of North Blue Flats. The map provides an essential record of early access points into the region, most notably at the Midway Bridge. Hydrological details such as Notch Water and the winding Sulphur Cr highlight the scarce but critical water sources in a region characterized by prominent landmarks like Danish Hill and the distinctive pass known as The Notch. The survey also delineates The Hartnet, capturing the area's geological character before more modern infrastructure altered the local context.
