1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Sinbad Country dominates this 1954 preliminary survey of Emery County, Utah, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic geological incisions and high desert plateaus. The map captures the area shortly after the Department of the Interior and Geological Survey conducted 1953 field mapping, using aerial photography from 1951 to chart the complex drainage systems of Little Ocean Draw and Baptist Draw. Notable for its remote terrain, the sheet highlights distinct flatlands like Taylor Flat and McKay Flat which sit above the deep winding corridor of Cistern Canyon. The presence of small reservoirs, simply labeled Dam, suggests the vital importance of water management for livestock in this arid environment. This edition preserves the rugged character of Horse Valley and its surrounding canyons before more modern infrastructure or intensive land use altered the local topography.
