1953 Map of The Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Tidwell Ranch and a remote network of jeep trails define this arid landscape along the Green River during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a complex geography of high mesas and deep drainage systems, including the massive Orange Cliffs and The Spur. Evidence of ancient habitation is noted with Pictographs in Barrier Canyon, while more recent activity is marked by a Drill Hole and various springs like Wildcat Spring and Outlaw Spring. The terrain is split between the newly established Canyonlands National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. From the sheer walls of Labyrinth Canyon to the broad Upper Pasture, the survey provides a detailed record of this corner of Wayne County before modern paved access reached these isolated benches.
