1954 Map of Tidwell Bottoms

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Tidwell Bottoms sits at the heart of this mid-century desert survey, where the San Rafael River carves through the dramatic geological upturn of the San Rafael Reef. The landscape is defined by its water management and sparse ranching outposts, featuring remote locations like Gillies Ranch and the curiously named The Frenchmans near the river's lower bends. Numerous artificial catchments such as Buckmaster Reservoir, Hatt Reservoir, and Ninemile Reservoir underscore the critical importance of water storage for livestock and survival in the arid Sinbad Country. Topographical details reveal the complex drainage systems of Dragon Wash and Greasewood Draw, while a Well (Aban'd) and various Moonshine Tanks hint at the difficulty of maintaining permanent operations in this reach of Emery County.
