1954 Map of Orderville Canyon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Miners Peak and the high plateaus of southwestern Utah dominate this mid-century topographic survey, where the rugged border between Iron Co and Washington Co meets a landscape defined by dramatic vertical relief. The map reveals a high-altitude ranching environment, punctuated by numerous structures labeled Stock Tank, essential for maintaining livestock across the arid terrain of Virgin Flats and the surrounding benches. Distinctive landmarks such as Thorne Point, Little Mountain, and Gordon Point rise sharply from the deep drainage systems of Oak Valley and Dry Run Gulch. This preliminary edition, derived from 1953 aerial photography, provides a detailed look at the land use patterns of the era, focusing on natural features and stock-water infrastructure before later development arrived in the region.
