1953 Map of Tidwell 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The San Rafael River carves a complex, winding path through this Emery County landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s. This preliminary survey emphasizes the dramatic relief of the terrain, from the elevated Jackass Benches to the steep walls of Box Canyon. The hydrological character of the region is central to the map, marked by seasonal water sources such as Sulphur Spring, Thompsons Hole, and Mochasme Tanks. Evidence of human activity is sparse in this isolated desert environment, primarily localized at Camp Vinero near the river’s edge. The network of drainage systems like Tidwell Draw and Buckmaster Draw reveals the erosion patterns that define the San Rafael Swell area, providing a precise record of the land before modern recreational development altered the remote character of these eastern Utah canyons.
