1954 Map of Stinking Spring Creek 4 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

San Rafael Desert dominates this mid-century preliminary survey, capturing a stark landscape defined by shifting Sand and prominent geological landmarks in Emery County. The topography is anchored by the distinct silhouettes of Gilson Butte and Little Gilson Butte to the west, which serve as primary navigational points in an otherwise fluid terrain. This 1954 edition was issued as a preliminary work-in-progress, pending the completion of more comprehensive regional mapping, which explains the focus on essential landforms and sparse human presence. A singular trace of settlement or pastoral infrastructure appears at Jeffery Well, illustrating the vital importance of water points in this arid region of Utah. The map provides a precise record of the trail and desert track network as it existed before modern road development altered the accessibility of this remote part of the San Rafael Swell.
