1952 Map of Orange Cliffs 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a deep path through the southeastern portion of this Utah landscape, revealing a complex network of canyons and plateaus as they appeared in the early 1950s. The topography is dominated by massive elevated features like Bert Mesa and the wide expanse of Cedar Point, which rise above the surrounding drainage systems. To the north, the sharp descent of Black Jump sits near the head of Poison Spring Canyon, a name that hints at the difficult environment encountered by early travelers and cattlemen in the region. This 1952 Geological Survey topography was compiled using aerial photography from 1951, providing a precise look at the land before later recreation and land management designations altered the usage of this isolated terrain near Buckacre Point.
