1965 Map of Taylor Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The high, arid rangelands of southern Benton County are defined here by a series of deep north-south drainages including Badger Canyon, Taylor Canyon, and Coyote Canyon. In the mid-1960s, this landscape supported a sparse network of ranching infrastructure, where water was the most critical resource. The map documents several vital water sources such as Williams Wells, Idle Wells, Taylor Well, and Sweanys Well, which sustained livestock in this dry environment. Agricultural activity is further evidenced by various Storage Bins scattered across the uplands. Human passage through this terrain relied on unpaved routes like Plymouth Road, Smith Road, and Reese Road, often following the natural contours of the ridges. The presence of the Big Wells Pumphouse and an extensive Pipeline illustrate the engineering required to manage water distribution across the expansive Straub Canyon and Prospect Canyon areas.
