1964 Map of Red Breaks

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Escalante River carves through a landscape of elevated plateaus and deep incisions, a characteristically isolated portion of Garfield County as it appeared in the mid-1960s. High plateaus such as Big Spencer Flats, Brigham Tea Bench, and Big Bown Bench dominate the higher elevations, while drainage systems like Harris Wash and The King Gulch define the lower topography. Human presence is limited to the Old Sheffield Road (Jeep) and various unnamed jeep trails, reflecting the area's role as a remote wilderness accessible primarily by specialized vehicles. Notable geological features, including a Natural Arch and the distinctive formation known as the Red Breaks, suggest a terrain shaped by long-term erosion and complex drainage patterns, with smaller landmarks like Allen Dump and Death Hollow providing specific points of interest for historical navigation.
