1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 2 NW

About this map

San Rafael Swell dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex network of drainage systems and high plateaus in Emery County. This preliminary edition, derived from 1951 aerial photography, focuses on the intricate erosion patterns typical of the region's geological uplift. Named watercourses such as the North Fork Salt Wash and South Salt Wash carve through the landscape, while Coal Wash and its North Fork define the eastern drainage. A notable human or historical landmark identified on the sheet is Sid and Charley, located near the northern reaches of the survey. The map also delineates topographic features like Wood Hollow and the elevated Secret Mesa, providing a detailed view of the terrain as it existed before later developmental changes or formal designation of the surrounding wilderness areas.
