1970 Map of Angle

About this map

Otter Creek Reservoir dominates the western edge of this landscape, its waters contained by a dam at a spillway elevation of 6372. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the high plateaus of Parker Mountain and the dense timber of the Dixie National Forest. Small settlements like Angle and the northern outskirts of Antimony flank the reservoir, connected by a network of unimproved roads and specialized infrastructure like the Antimony Airstrip. The interior backcountry is marked by cattle-country landmarks such as Nicks Cabin, Clause Pond, and various water sources like Forshea Spring and Billy Spring. This 1970 field-checked survey highlights the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the high, arid overlooks of Forshea Point and Nicks Point, where a labyrinth of jeep trails and pack trails provides the only access through the draws and passes of the central range.
