About this map

San Rafael River meanders through the heart of this mid-century topographic study, cutting a deep path through the dramatic geologic formations of Emery County. The landscape is dominated by the massive uplifting of the San Rafael Swell, where intricate contour lines reveal the complex network of drainages and high plateaus such as Sids Mountain and the prominent overlook known as The Wedge. This survey, based on 1951 aerial photography, documents the area before modern recreational infrastructure became common, showing a raw desert wilderness defined by elevation changes and natural landmarks like Saddle Horse Canyon. The map is a precise record of the physical geography, including survey markers like Vabm 6610, providing an essential reference for understanding the structural geology of the region.
