1953 Map of Temple Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Temple Mtn dominates this mid-century survey of Emery County, serving as a hub for mining activity evidenced by numerous Tunnels and Shafts recorded along its slopes. The landscape is a study in desert water management and topography, featuring named catchments and springs such as Mormon Tanks, Farnsworth Tanks, and Buckskin Spring. This 1953 field check captures the area just as modern accessibility was increasing, with a Landing Strip and various Jeep Trails cutting through the Sinbad and San Rafael Country. To the south, the intricate erosional features of Goblin Valley and prominent landmarks like Mollys Castle and Little Gilson Butte provide clear navigational markers across the San Rafael Desert. The boundary between Emery and Wayne Counties is marked at the southern edge, near Jefferys Well.
