1951 Map of Oak City
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Oak City serves as the primary settlement in this early 1950s survey, positioned where the high country of the Fishlake National Forest meets the arid Sevier Desert. The complex irrigation landscape of the eastern Great Basin is highly visible here, marked by the Central Utah Canal, Taylors Canal, and a series of storage facilities including Fool Creek Reservoir No 1 and the Delta Reservoir. These waterworks contrast sharply with the Oak Creek Sinks and the Sand Dunes further west. Transportation and commerce are represented by the Union Pacific railroad line, which passes through the small stations of Strong and Harding. Above the town, the terrain rises into the Canyon Range, featuring the Oak Creek Ranger Sta and several local landmarks like Partridge Mtn and Blue Mountain.
