1968 Map of Blackburn Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Straight Cliffs and Fiftymile Ridge dominate this section of the Utah landscape, creating a dramatic escarpment that separates the upper plateaus from the lower basins. The map captures a remote backcountry environment where water sources like Harry Colwes Spring, Pleasant Grove Spring, and Mudhole Spring were essential for survival and livestock management. This 1968 survey details the intricate network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that navigated the complex terrain of Steer Mountain and Little Valley. Local landmarks such as Cougar Knoll and Indian Gardens indicate a landscape shaped by both natural features and human nomenclature. The topography reveals deep erosional patterns in Llewellyn Canyon and Blackburn Canyon, illustrating the high desert's geological character before modern development or increased recreational access transformed the region.
