Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Built in 1935 northwest of Moab, Dalton Wells started as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. More than two thousand enrollees worked range and water projects from the site until late 1941. In early 1943 the empty camp became the Moab Citizen Isolation Center, where the War Relocation Authority held fifty-four Japanese American men labeled “agitators,” most of them U.S. citizens, without trial before transferring them to Leupp, Arizona. Foundations and the historic site now lie within Utahraptor State Park.
