1952 Map of Tidwell 4 NE

About this map

Green River meanders sharply through the high desert of Eastern Utah, cutting deep incised loops that define the boundary between Emery County and Grand County. This 1952 preliminary survey shows a landscape dominated by dramatic geological erosion, where the river's path is constrained by sheer walls at Ten Mile Canyon and Three Canyons. Notable water sources in this arid environment include Keg Spring and various unnamed springs situated near the canyon floors. High ground is marked by Ten Mile Point, overlooking the intricate drainage systems of Bull Hollow and Spring Canyon. Only a single isolated Trail is marked in the northeast corner, emphasizing the area's relative isolation and the reliance on natural river corridors for navigation and exploration during the mid-twentieth century.
