1967 Map of Billies Mtn.

About this map

Billies Mountain and the canyonlands of the Uinta National Forest define this landscape south of the Spanish Fork river canyon. In the 1960s, this area served as a critical corridor for mountain transit and resource management, anchored by the D & R G W railroad tracks following the Spanish Fork riverbed. Local history is physically marked by the Diamond Battle Historical Monument situated near Little Diamond Creek, a site commemorating early regional conflicts. Settlement is sparse, with remote locations like Patrick Place and established recreation spots such as Palmyra Campground and Diamond Campground providing the primary human footprint. The map also documents a mine and numerous water management features, including a gaging station and several test wells, illustrating the intersection of historic transit routes and essential watershed monitoring.
