About this map

Tidwell Ranch and the isolated landmark The Mailbox anchor this 1953 survey of the remote desert landscape where the Green River carves through Stillwater Canyon. The map reveals a complex system of river bottoms, including Fort Bottom and Anderson Bottom, tucked beneath the towering Orange Cliffs. This terrain, characterized by the prominent plateau of The Spur, contains significant archaeological and geological markers, such as documented Petroglyphs near Barrier Creek and a Natural Arch on the Head of the Spur.
