1958 Map of Verdure 2 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Monticello anchors the southern edge of this mid-century topographic survey, where the high plateau begins its descent into the complex drainage systems of San Juan County. The landscape is defined by a reliance on water management, evidenced by the presence of the Keller Reservoir, several unnamed reservoirs, and numerous cattle ponds scattered across the sage-covered flats. To the north, the terrain is cut by Vega Creek and the deep incision of South Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of seasonal runoff in this arid environment. Transportation and infrastructure reflect the area's utility during this era, featuring a dedicated Landing Strip, a network of Jeep Trails, and multiple Gravel Pits. Agricultural markers like the Grain Tank near the reservoir suggest a localized economy focused on dryland ranching and small-scale cultivation before the intensification of modern irrigation.
