1956 Map of Springdale NE

About this map

Zion National Park occupies the western boundary of this high-desert plateau landscape, where deep canyons and rising mesas define the local geography. The map reveals a land utilized for seasonal grazing and water management during the mid-1950s, evidenced by the presence of Stock Tanks and the Co-op label near the northern border. Dramatic elevation changes are centered around massive geological formations like Elephant and Indian Knoll, while lower drainage areas like Shunes Hollow cut through the terrain. This preliminary survey represents the transition from early territorial exploration to mid-century topographical precision, documenting names like Poverty and Flat that reflect the stark reality of early ranching life in southern Utah. The network of unimproved roads and horse trails connects isolated water sources across the Cove, illustrating the sparse but vital infrastructure of the era.
