1961 Map of Big Dutch Hollow

About this map

Little Emigration Canyon and East Canyon dominate this mountainous landscape where early western passage is marked by the paths of the Donner-Reed Party and Pioneers. This 1961 survey provides a clear view of the high-altitude terrain at the border of Morgan and Summit Counties, punctuated by historical markers that trace the movement of early settlers through the Wasatch Range. Notable sites include Mormon Flat Historical Marker and the Bauhmanns Pony Express Station Historical Marker, locating where the mail and the wagon trains once found safe harbor. To the south, small outposts like Gorgoza and Altus sit along the primary road leading toward Parleys Canyon. The map records the complex drainage of the area, from the winding Big Dutch Hollow to the seasonal courses of Schuster Cr and Dry Fork, showing the natural obstacles faced by those following the historic trail routes.
