1952 Map of Santaquin Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Santaquin Peak and the high ridges of the Uinta National Forest dominate this early 1950s survey of the central Utah highlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from high-elevation lookouts like Mt Nebo AS to the productive valleys below. Along the eastern edge, the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR tracks follow the Thistle Creek corridor, serving small rail-side settlements such as Birdseye and Indianola. Local industry is evidenced by the Birdseye Quarries, while the growing mid-century interest in outdoor recreation is reflected in the established Nebo Loop Road and sites like Bear Canyon Recreation Area. Isolated outposts like Wimmer Ranch and the Payson Guard Station highlight the land management and ranching patterns of the era. The map also features unique geological landmarks such as Devils Kitchen and numerous high-country water sources including Payson Lakes and Winward Res.
