1967 Map of Center Creek

About this map

Heber Valley provides a productive contrast to the steep canyons of the Uinta National Forest in this late 1960s study. The settlement of Center Creek is the primary hub of activity in the northwest, supported by water resources like Lake Creek and industrial features including a Gravel Pit. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Hogsback Ridge and the deep cuts of Daniels Canyon, where the Whiskey Spring Picnic Area marks a point of recreational interest along the primary road. The map captures an era of resource management and local infrastructure, shown through the network of telephone lines, pack trails, and isolated forest landmarks like the Hogsback Exclosure. High-altitude water management is evident in the northeast with Witts Lake and Jones Reservoir, while small family-named terrain features such as Clegg Canyon and Cummings Canyon suggest a history of grazing or early land claims.
