1951 Map of Oak City

About this map

Oak City sits at the base of the Fishlake National Forest, where the canyon runoff meets the arid expanse of the Sevier Desert. This 1951 survey documents a landscape of managed water and transition, where the Sevier River and the Taylors Flat Canal define the agricultural potential of the flatlands. To the east, the map details the intricate drainages of the mountains, including Bridge Canyon and Mahogany Canyon, while the west is dominated by the Oak Creek Sinks and shifting Sand Dunes.
