2014 Map of Cherry Creek

About this map

Sheeprock Mountains define the northern terrain of this section of Juab County, giving way to a complex system of drainages and named hollows. The landscape is characterized by its hydrological features and historical ranching corridors, with Cherry Crk and Indian Springs providing critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of land use and navigation is found in the network of rural roads such as Rockwell Rnch and Weiss Hwy, which cut through the lower elevations and connect dispersed points of interest like Chicken Rock. Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of long-standing infrastructure, including Telephone Rd and Trail Rd, which follow natural contours through Great Eastern Hollow and Scotia Gulch. The map illustrates a region where topography dictated the placement of early routes and homesteads.
