1962 Map of Buck Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Indian Canyon and its many tributary drainages dominate this mid-century topographic study of Duchesne County. The landscape is defined by a complex network of high-elevation ridges and deep hollows, including Lake Canyon, Matilda Canyon, and Skitzy Canyon. Evidence of mid-century industrial activity is present in the form of the Raven Mine located south of the Right Fork Indian Canyon, along with scattered Oil Wells situated on the higher plateaus near Buck Knoll. The map details a primitive transportation network consisting primarily of an extensive system of Jeep Trails and unnamed roads that navigate the steep terrain between Wolf Den Hollow and Cottonwood Canyon. Water sources are sparse but noted, with Cripple Creek and various Springs providing essential landmarks for the era's surveyors and prospectors.
