1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 3 NW

About this map

Reds Canyon cuts through this high desert terrain in Emery County, mapped here in the mid-1950s during a preliminary survey. The landscape is dominated by the vast Sinbad Country, a region defined by its complex geology and isolated water sources like the Cistern Tanks. This document reflects a specific moment in the mapping of the San Rafael Swell, where traditional field survey markers like Vabm 6771 provide precise elevation data for prominent landmarks such as Tombstone Butte. The map lacks established roads or settlements, emphasizing the primitive state of the interior plateau before modern recreational access became common. This 1953 mapping effort, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, serves as a primary source for the natural topography as it stood before significant human modification.
