1953 Map of Nutters Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic, winding path through this portion of eastern Utah, creating a series of alluvial loops including Moon Bottom, Hydes Bottom, and Long Bottom. This mid-century survey documents a wilderness landscape defined by the deep incision of Desolation Canyon and the towering heights of the Roan or Brown Cliffs. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Sand Wash Ferry (Site) and a lone Oil Well in the northern flats, illustrating the region's historical reliance on river crossings and nascent mineral exploration. The map provides clear boundary delineations for the Uinta Reservation and the Uncompahgre Addition, showing how tribal lands interface with the complex topography of Nutters Hole and the The Wrinkles. Numerous seasonal drainages like Nine Mile Creek and Tabyago Creek underscore the arid character of the high desert terrain.
