About this map

The high plateau and drainage systems of eastern Utah are meticulously detailed in this 1991 provisional survey, showing a landscape defined by deep incisions and named overlooks. Poverty Bench and Nose Flat occupy the higher elevations, providing a stark contrast to the complex branching of Rattlesnake Canyon and Pack Canyon. The map reveals evidence of small-scale mineral exploration with an Adit and Prospect located near the headwaters of unnamed drainages, reflecting the region's history of prospecting.

Water sources are scarce but essential, marked by Oak Spring and the intermittent flows of Coal Creek. To the south, the terrain breaks into a series of southern-draining valleys including Winter Camp Canyon, Bobby Canyon, and the junction of Hand Canyon with Tusher Canyon. This document captures the intricate topographical layout of these canyons before modern recreational use increased, serving as a primary reference for the named forks and traditional camp locations used by early ranchers.
