1985 Map of Chippean Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape, defined by a series of dramatic geological formations and deep drainages. The naming of Mormon Pasture Mountain and the adjacent Mormon Pasture suggests the early influence of LDS settlers in utilizing these high plateaus for grazing. Dramatic verticality is represented by landmarks such as the Seven Sisters Buttes and Maverick Point, while the narrow, elevated land bridge known as The Causeway provides a critical passage between drainage basins. Local water sources like Sand Spring and Posey Creek appear as vital features in this arid environment. The map also records evidence of resource extraction with a lone Mine Shaft located north of Chippean Rocks, indicating small-scale prospecting in a region better known for its topographic complexity than its industrial development.
