1958 Map of Verdure 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Abajo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, rising to prominent points like Abajo Peak and Horsehead Peak. The 1950s terrain is marked by industrial activity and recreation within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Mining history is evident at the Dream Mine and Gold Queen Mine, located near the steep drainage of Gold Queen Basin Creek. The map documents a specific era of mountain use, showing localized settlements such as Dalton Trailer Camp and the Blue Mtn Dude Ranch. Transport into these peaks relied on primitive routes like the North Creek Road and various jeep trails that navigate complex passes including Cooley Pass and Dickson Pass. From the headwaters of Recapture Creek to the deep incisions of Devil Canyon, the survey captures a rugged network of springs and peaks before modern development reached this part of San Juan County.
