1958 Map of Adamsville

About this map

Adamsville stands as the primary settlement on this landscape, positioned along the Beaver River and a local canal system. In the late 1950s, the area's economy was clearly defined by a divide between the irrigated valley floors and the mineral-rich heights of Bradshaw Mtn and Granite Peak. The mapping records a significant concentration of mining activity, featuring operations like the Creole Mine, Lincoln Mine, and the curiously named School Mine near Little Cedar Cove. The Union Pacific line traverses the western flats, passing the small station at Murdock and Yellow Banks. This survey documents a complex network of springs, such as Old Indian Spr and Jackrabbit Spr, which were essential for sustaining the cattle operations at locations like Ryan Ranch and the numerous sheep-shearing corrals scattered throughout the mountain draws.
