1956 Map of St. George NE

About this map

The community of Washington anchors the southeastern corner of this mid-century survey, its gridded streets bounded by the St George City Boundary. To the north, the landscape rises into the high country of the Dixie National Forest, where the Cottonwood Guard Station stands near the headwaters of Mill Creek. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and sandstone features, including the stark Middleton Black Ridge and the Red Hills. Natural water sources like Green Spring, Gray Spring, and Miller Spring suggest the critical importance of water management in this arid region, further evidenced by the Black Knolls Reservoir and an extensive pipeline network. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit located near the Buckskin formation, while local history is marked by the presence of a Cem on the outskirts of the primary settlement.
