About this map

The Sanpitch Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Uinta National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by steep drainages and isolated landmarks such as Big Baldy and Little Red Hill. Human activity in these uplands is limited to a few specific sites, including a Radio Facility in the northern section and scattered infrastructure like a Corral and a Quarry.

Water sources are critical features of this environment, with numerous points marked simply as Spring alongside named flows like North Fork Salt Creek and Chriss Creek. The map records a network of primitive transportation, showing a Pack Trail and Jeep Trail winding through Chriss Canyon and Beckers Hollow. This 1965 survey serves as a detailed record of the Juab and Sanpete County line as it traverses these remote summits and flats.
