1951 Map of The Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Green River carves deep through this high desert plateau, defining a landscape of isolated mesas and entrenched drainages on the border of Grand and San Juan counties. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map documents a territory primarily utilized by ranching and mineral exploration interests, as evidenced by the distribution of water sources like Dubinky Well, Horsethief Spr, and several reservoirs. Strategic access to the river is limited to places such as Mineral Bottom and Cottonwood Bottom, while the upper reaches are marked by distinctive landmarks including The Needles and Beehive Butte. This era of exploration is further highlighted by the presence of a remote Landing Strip near The Knoll and an Oil Well located near Bartlett Flat, showing the encroachment of modern industry into the Labyrinth Canyon backcountry.
