About this map

Cedar Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in the early 1980s, marking the transition where the Juab Co and Sanpete Co border crosses through complex drainage systems. The map detail highlights an intricate network of hollows and washes that define the area's hydrology and land use. Notable water sources such as Whitaker Springs, House Spring, and Cottonwood Spring appear as critical landmarks for range management and wildlife within this arid terrain.

Erosion patterns are clearly articulated through the many named drainages including Big Hollow, Serviceberry Hollow, and Uinta Gulch. The topographical prominence of Pollys Peak serves as a primary navigational reference point overlooking the surrounding canyons. These provisional manuscript drawings capture the territory before modern developments, preserving the original nomenclature of seasonal waterways like Dublin Wash and the North Fork Mud Spring Wash.
