1959 Map of Verdure 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

East Summit School and Burr School anchor this late 1950s map of the high plateau region where Utah meets Colorado. This survey provides a rare look at the area's rural landscape before significant modernization, revealing a network of irrigation through numerous small Reservoirs and natural water sources like Ingram Spring and Piute Spr. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical drops into deep gorges, most notably Hamm Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon. Prominent landmarks such as Bishop Point and Piute Knoll mark the horizon, while a solitary Shaft and a long-distance Pipeline hint at the extractive industries and infrastructure shaping the San Juan County backcountry. The map also records the precise tri-county junction of San Juan, San Miguel, and Dolores counties.
