1953 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The San Rafael Swell dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex landscape of erosion and uplift in central Utah. The map focuses on the high-relief terrain where the Hidden Valley cuts through the sedimentary layers, creating a labyrinth of ridges and drainages. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the isolated Swazy Cabin, suggesting the area's history of seasonal livestock grazing or lone prospecting. Distinctive landmarks such as Ghost Rock and Family Butte rise above the surrounding washes, providing essential orientation points in an otherwise intricate geography of sandstone and limestone. The drainage patterns of Georges Draw, Earls Draw, and Red Wash illustrate the hydraulic forces that have carved this portion of the Emery County backcountry, long before modern infrastructure reached deep into these interior valleys.
