About this map

Heber Valley opens into a landscape defined by the livestock and timber economy of the late 1960s, where corrugated Hogsback Ridge separates the high country of the Uinta National Forest from the lower pastures. The map details a complex network of resource management and rural infrastructure, from the Jones Reservoir and Witts Lake to multiple Corrals and a Telephone line cutting across the terrain.

Evidence of local industry is visible through several Quarries and a Gravel Pit near the valley floor. Transportation for the era is well-documented, showing the transition from modern roads to the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail systems used for backcountry access. Small-scale landmarks like the Hogsback Exclosure and Whiskey Spring provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of the land between Daniels Canyon and Center Canyon.
