1956 Map of Salina

About this map

Fish Lake National Forest and the dramatic uplift of the San Rafael Swell dominate this mid-century look at central Utah. The map traces the critical corridor of the Sevier River, where agricultural settlements like Salina and Glenwood are connected by the Denver & Rio Grande Western RR. This survey captures the region before the designation of Capitol Reef as a national park, showing it instead as the Capitol Reef National Monument during a period of expanding recreational and industrial access.
