1979 Map of Colton

About this map

Industrial and recreational interests meet at the high-altitude junction of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. The settlement of Colton serves as a focal point near the convergence of the White River and Price River, while the southern reaches of the map show the outskirts of Scofield and the Scofield Lake State Recreation Area. The landscape is marked by resource extraction and infrastructure, evidenced by Quarries, a Drill Hole, and scattered Prospects. High ridges like Joes Ridge separate drainage basins such as Spring Canyon and Woods Canyon. For those researching local development, the map traces various Jeep Trails and water sources like Sawmill Spring and Wing Spring that supported early activity in this part of Carbon and Utah counties.
