1959 Map of Verdure 1 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Dry Farm stands as a notable human mark on this high desert plateau in San Juan County, reflecting the agricultural adaptation required in such an arid environment. This 1957 mapping effort captures a landscape defined by its hydrology, where numerous unnamed reservoirs were constructed to catch and hold seasonal runoff across the terrain. These man-made features sit in contrast to natural drainage systems like Iron Spring and the winding depths of Spring Canyon. The map reveals the infrastructure of the late 1950s, including a prominent industrial Pipeline cutting across the northeastern corner. The relief is further shaped by the steep descents into East Canyon and Bear Trap Canyon, illustrating the complex topography that governed movement and settlement in this corner of southeastern Utah.
