1971 Map of Adams Head

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Adams Head Powell Survey Cairn serves as a prominent high-altitude landmark atop the Sevier Plateau, marking a significant point of historical geographical measurement within the Dixie National Forest. This 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages including Sanford Cr, Cottonwood Creek, and Deer Creek. The terrain is characterized by high peaks such as Cottonwood Peak and Crow Peak, interspersed with seasonal Springs and high-country openings like Marshall Meadow. Human movement through this complex topography is represented by an extensive system of a Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail, illustrating how the region was navigated for forest management and surveying before more modern infrastructure. The map provides a detailed view of the high-elevation water sources and geological formations like Window Rock that define this part of Garfield County.
