1985 Map of Woodside

About this map

Woodside sits at the base of the dramatic Book Cliffs in this mid-1980s topographic survey of Emery County. The settlement serves as a focal point where the D & R G W railroad aligns with the meandering course of the Price River. This corridor was essential for transportation through the arid Utah landscape, evidenced by the presence of a Cem and a Gaging Sta near the riverbanks. The surrounding terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, including Grassy Wash and Little Park Wash, which carve through the high plateaus and alluvial plains. Human water management in this desert environment is marked by features like the Kiahtipes Reservoir, while the broad expanse of Marsh Flat highlights the varied topography between the river valley and the towering cliff faces to the east.
