1957 Map of Orderville Canyon NE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Hepple Plain dominates the western heights of this 1957 survey, where a high-plateau landscape is defined by isolated Stock Tanks and remote Jeep Trails. The terrain breaks sharply to the east into a complex drainage network, most notably the deep incision of Orderville Canyon and the winding course of the North Fork Virgin River. This river system, including the main Virgin River in the northeast corner within the Dixie National Forest, carved the labyrinth of side canyons like Ashdown and Wildcat that characterize the area's geology. Evidence of livestock management is scattered across the plateau, while the lower elevations near Millet Point and Table Bench highlight the dramatic vertical relief between the flat mesa tops and the canyon floors. Natural water sources such as Big Spring and Upper Bear Spr provided essential reliable points in this arid, deeply-bisected environment.
