1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Nevills Bench and the stark geological platforms of Huntington Terrace dominate this mid-century preliminary survey of the San Rafael Swell area. The map documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and the erosive path of the Muddy River, which snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle. In an area largely devoid of formal settlements, the presence of a single House near a Spring in the southeast corner provides a rare trace of human habitation, likely associated with ranching or early uranium exploration efforts common in Emery County during the early 1950s. The drainage patterns of Salt Wash and the surrounding terrain of Hagerman Terrace illustrate the complex topography that hindered early transit through this part of the Colorado Plateau.
