1958 Map of Ranch Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Escalante Desert floor meets the rising foothills of Beaver County in this mid-century topographic survey. A stark contrast exists between the flat western expanse and the deeply cut drainages to the east, notably Ranch Canyon and Corral Canyon. The arrival of the Union Pacific railroad and the presence of the Milford City Bdy in the southwest corner indicate the area's development as a transportation and utility corridor. Water management is a central theme of the landscape, evidenced by the Beaver River and a network of irrigation works including the High Line Canal and The Canal. These features, along with the Yellow Banks, highlight the efforts to harness the region's limited resources for agricultural or industrial use. High-clearance routes like the Corral Canyon Jeep Trail provide the primary access into the rugged eastern terrain.
