1973 Map of Read

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Beaver Bottoms provides a stark topographic profile of the arid landscape along the Beaver River during the early 1970s. This desert floor is defined by a series of intermittent drainage systems, most notably Negro Mag Wash and Cove Creek, which illustrate the hydrological patterns of this western Utah basin. The infrastructure of the region is anchored by the Union Pacific railroad line, which runs north-to-south through the western portion of the map. Along this corridor, the small settlements of Read and Murdock appear as vital transit points within the desert expanse. The map also delineates the Millard Co Beaver Co boundary, showing how civil divisions bisect these wide-open spaces. For those researching the history of transport or livestock movement in this region, the placement of various wells and a Spring across the washlands offers a clear look at the water-dependent economy of the era.
