1956 Map of Springdale SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Canaan Mountains dominate this 1954 landscape, a transition point where the high plateaus of southern Utah meet the Arizona border. This preliminary survey, mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey, captures the complex vertical geography of the region before the completion of larger regional sheets. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Maxwell Canyon and the expansive Broad Hollow, which provide natural drainage routes toward the south. The state line between Utah and Arizona bisects the lower portion of the map, where the seasonal flow of Short Creek crosses the border. Remote water sources such as Goat Springs are vital landmarks in this high-desert environment, marking points of potential interest for those studying early grazing patterns or land use in the corner of Washington, Kane, and Mohave counties.
