1952 Map of Tidwell 4 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Green River carves a deep, sinuous path through this high desert region, creating a landscape defined by dramatic meanders and secluded riverbanks. This 1952 survey, mapped just before the era of major interstate expansion in the West, highlights the intricate series of "bottoms" — flat, fertile benches adjacent to the water such as Oak Bottom, Tidwell Bottom, and Horse Thief Bottom. These areas served as critical access points in a terrain otherwise guarded by towering formations like Deadman Point and Horsethief Point. The most striking feature is the Bowknot Bend, a near-perfect loop where the river almost doubles back on itself. The map also records the convergence of several county boundaries, showing where Emery, Grand, Wayne, and San Juan counties meet amidst the canyons and dry washes like Spring Canyon and Keg Spring.
