1964 Map of Upper Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape of the Escalante Mountains, where the 1964 survey captures a remote region defined by cattle ranching and timber management. The map centers on the high pastoral land of Upper Valley and Liston Flat, where the Upper Valley Guard Station served as a key outpost for forest administration. The topography transitions sharply from the level reaches of the Table Cliff Plateau down into the eroded badlands known as The Blues in the southwest corner. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by named features like Yankee Mdw Spring, Garden Spring, and the drainage of Upper Valley Creek. Human activity is further marked by the presence of the Cottam site and a network of livestock infrastructure, including the Water Trail and various pack trails used for navigating the complex canyon systems of Heaps Canyon and Pet Hollow.
