1969 Map of Bob Hill Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Cedar Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this Emery County landscape, where the plateau gives way to the intricate drainage systems of the San Rafael Swell. The terrain is marked by a legacy of early ranching and transport, evidenced by family-named landmarks like Bob Hill Knoll and Joe Jensen Spring. A distinct Old Railroad Grade traverses the central expanse of Buckhorn Flat, reflecting late 19th-century industrial ambitions in this arid environment. To the south, the land drops into the dramatic geological formations of The Wedge, carved by Buckhorn Wash. Isolated features such as Buckhorn Corral and an unnamed Mine suggest a history of localized resource extraction and livestock management. This topographic study captures a transition from high mesa flats like Wimmer Flat to the deep incisions of Calf Canyon and Cow Canyon, mapping a territory defined more by its water sources—like Swazy Hole and Orsons Pond—than by permanent settlements.
