1922 Map of Rees Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 1922About this map
Rees Canyon and the surrounding canyonlands of southern Utah are meticulously documented in this 1922 reconnaissance survey led by Raymond C. Moore. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of West Chance Creek and Dry Canyon, showing the intricate geological relief before later development altered the region's accessibility. This sheet focuses heavily on the natural topography of the Escalante area, noting the seasonal paths of Alvey Wash and Harris Wash. The map serves as a vital record of the high desert terrain as understood by early twentieth-century geologists, tracing the paths of Upper Last Chance and the headwaters that feed toward Rock Creek and Warm Creek.
