1968 Map of Anthro Mtn

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this 1960s landscape, characterized by a complex network of deep canyons and high ridges in the Uintah Basin. The southern portion of the map is defined by the striking Bad Land Cliffs and the historic Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the terrain near Anthro Mtn. This area reflects a period of resource management and early geological exploration, evidenced by scattered infrastructure such as a Gaging Sta on North Lost Hollow and isolated industrial markers like a Mine and Drill Hole. The transition from the high forest boundaries to the arid canyon floors at Sowers Canyon and Nutters Canyon highlights the topographic diversity of Duchesne County. Water remains a critical element for local land use, with features like Nutters Spring and several seasonal hollows supporting the sparse network of Pack Trails and wire fences that crisscross the backcountry.
