1967 Map of Billies Mtn.

About this map

Billies Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 1967 survey, where the rugged drainages of the Uinta National Forest meet the industrial corridors of the late 1960s. The southwestern corner is defined by the narrow passage of Spanish Fork Canyon, carrying the Spanish Fork River and the tracks of the D & R G W RR. This intersection of rail and river served as a vital transport artery through the central Utah peaks, while the interior of the map reveals a network of canyons including Wannhodes Canyon and Brimhall Canyon. Local history is marked by the Diamond Battle Historical Monument situated near Little Diamond Creek, a site of conflict between early settlers and the Ute people. Remote landmarks like Patrick Place and Wignal Spring offer evidence of grazing and homesteading activities tucked into the high country flats.
