About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the high-elevation terrain of this 1964 field-checked survey, dominated by the massive rise of the Table Cliff Plateau and the Escalante Mountains. The map illustrates a landscape of complex drainage systems and high points, most notably Powell Point overlooking the erosional features of The Blues. Human activity is marked by a network of trails, including a Pack Trail and several Jeep Trails that navigate through deep canyons like Henderson Canyon and Clay Canyon.

Resource extraction and water management are evident at the Shakespeare Mine near Coal Bench and the infrastructure at Pine Lake. The map serves as a record of early 1960s forest management and livestock grazing support, indicated by scattered water sources such as Burro Spring and Stump Spring. The distinct lack of paved roads highlights the isolated character of this region during the mid-century period.
