A 1952 edition USGS 15-minute quadrangle, printed in 1958, this copy is in very good condition for a sheet of its age and is printed on thick stock. The map depicts a rugged stretch of south-central Utah across Wayne and Garfield counties, taking in portions of Capitol Reef National Park, Dixie National Forest, and the Waterpocket Fold, one of the most geologically distinctive monoclines on the Colorado Plateau. The inclusion of the Waterpocket Fold makes this a useful reference for anyone studying the structural geology or land history of the Capitol Reef region.
