1955 Map of Verdure 3 NE

About this map

Dodge Point anchors this high-desert plateau in southeastern Utah, overlooking a landscape defined by deep incisions and ancient history. The drainage networks of Indian and Devil wash through the complex topography toward the more prominent Alkali Canyon and Montezuma Canyon in the southern reaches of the sheet. For those interested in archaeology and the early presence of man in the Four Corners region, the map marks a Cliff Dwelling perched within the canyon walls, alongside more recent human activity evidenced by a solitary Mine. This mid-1950s survey captures the region as it was primarily accessed via a remote Jeep Trail, illustrating the intersection of ancient habitation and modern exploration near Daltons Ranch.
