1983 Map of Coal Mine Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Coal Mine Ridge and the Atlantic Rim define this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is shaped by a series of prominent escarpments and deep drainages. The area is characterized by its reliance on scarce water sources, evidenced by named features like Chicken Pete Spring, Ninemile Spring, and the isolated Eightmile Lake. The presence of Coal Mine Draw suggests the early industrial potential of the region's mineral deposits, while the Aqueduct in the northeast corner highlights the engineering required to move water across this arid terrain. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the map reveals a remote environment primarily utilized for resource extraction and livestock, marked by numerous Drill Holes and wells scattered across the Lake Basin. Named canyons such as Robinson Canyon and Bull Canyon cut through the steep southern slopes, providing natural corridors through the otherwise formidable ridges.
