1953 Map of Wagon Box Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Wagon Box Mesa stands as a central geologic feature in this mid-century survey of Garfield County, Utah. The landscape is defined by the massive Waterpocket Fold and the jagged Oyster Shell Reef running along the eastern edge, showing a terrain shaped by dramatic tectonic shifting. To the west, the Circle Cliffs rise above the drainage of Death Hollow and the Wolverine Bench. While much of the area within the Dixie National Forest boundary remains undeveloped, the map records signs of early exploration and livestock use, such as Onion Flats Seep and a remote Prospect near Lamp Stand. The intricate network of canyons, including White Canyon and Wolverine Canyon, illustrates the complex erosion patterns that characterize this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
