1965 Map of Chriss Canyon

About this map

The Wasatch Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a transition from the Uinta National Forest down toward the central Utah valleys. Steep drainage systems like Chriss Canyon and Deep Canyon dominate the topography, illustrating the complex watershed patterns that feed into Chriss Creek and Little Salt Creek. The map documents a period of light infrastructure in the backcountry, where movement relied on a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails rather than developed roads.
