1953 Map of The Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Tidwell Ranch and the ancient record of Petroglyphs anchor this high desert landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by the winding course of the Green River as it carves through Stillwater Canyon, creating a sequence of distinct alluvial flats known as bottoms, including Fort Bottom, Potato Bottom, and Anderson Bottom. These riverine features contrast sharply with the massive verticality of the Orange Cliffs and the prominent spire of Cleopatras Chair.
