Summary[edit]
| Description |
"By 1870, the continental United States had been mapped and surveyed, except for one area- the vast region that surrounds you. From the Colorado river to the Aquarius plateau, and from the Virgin River to the Green, this rugged landscape was uncharted territory." Almon H. Thompson, led the land survey of Southern Utah, during which he explored and charted Boulder Mountain and the rest of the Aquarius Plateau. The expedition also named and mapped the Escalante River and the Henry Mountains, respectively the last-mapped river and mountain range in the lower 48 states. Ellen Thompson, wife of A. H. Thompson, and sister of John Wesley Powell, served as expedition botanist. This is a vast forest I would love to explore, it surrounds a number of Utah National Parks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_National_Forest seen while driving on the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paunsaugunt_Plateau on Utah Highway 12, quite a beautiful drive, on our way from Capitol Reef to Zion National Park. gc 141 |
