1952 Map of Torrey

About this map

Torrey and Teasdale sit at the center of this high-plateau landscape, recorded just as the region was coming under closer study in the early 1950s. The agricultural character of the Fremont River valley is evident in the network of ditches, such as those crossing Poverty Flat and Teasdale Bench, which supported these remote Mormon settlements. To the east, the dramatic geology of the Waterpocket Fold and the Capitol Reef National Monument dominates the terrain, featuring distinctive landmarks like Chimney Rock, The Castle, and The Motorman. The map reflects a period of transition, noting a Power Plant near the river and a local Airport south of Torrey, while the surrounding high country is managed through the Fishlake National Forest and Dixie National Forest.
