1953 Map of Orange Cliffs 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The boundary between Wayne Co and Garfield Co cuts through a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and remote infrastructure in the early 1950s. High tablelands like Sams Mesa and the broad expanse of Twin Corral Flat dominate the topography, providing a sense of the scale of the canyon country before more modern accessibility. A lone Landing Strip on the mesa indicates the necessity of aerial transport for reaching this isolated territory. Deep drainage patterns are visible in the winding course of Happy Canyon, while landmarks such as The Pinnacles and The Bridge serve as distinct navigational points for those traversing the back country. Water sources remain scarce, with Two Pipe Spring being one of the few named life-sustaining features in this arid region.
