1953 Map of Orange Cliffs 4 NW
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
French Spring and its namesake French Spring Point overlook a complex network of plateaus and drainage systems in this 1953 survey of the Utah canyonlands. The landscape is defined by massive level expanses such as Gordon Flats and Twin Corral Flat, which provided essential flat ground in an otherwise deeply dissected environment. Human activity is sparse but strategically placed, marked by a remote Landing Strip and water sources like Flint Spring near Flint Flat. The boundary between Wayne County and Garfield County cuts through the southern portion of the map, bisecting the prominent Big Ridge. This preliminary edition documents the area's geography just as aerial photography began to provide precise mapping of the high desert's intricate Happy Canyon drainage system.
