1954 Map of Tidwell 1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Green River serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the critical junction where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad crosses the river's namesake. The map reveals a frontier landscape transitioning toward modern infrastructure, featuring a Landing Strip, an Oil Tank, and a Flume near the riverbanks. East of the main settlement lies Elgin, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages including Saleratus Wash, Fivemile Wash, and Ninemile Wash. Industrial and utilitarian footprints are scattered across the desert, from a solitary Prospect to a Gaging Sta and a Cable Crossing spanning the Green River. These details suggest an era of resource exploration and water management in the arid canyon country of the Emery and Grand County border.
