1966 Map of Copper Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Bitter Creek and its complex network of tributaries carve through the Uintah County landscape in this 1960s topographic record, later updated in the late 1980s. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as McCook Ridge, Indian Ridge, and Park Ridge, which separate a series of deeply inset canyons. Industrial activity in this remote region is evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well and several Drill Holes, signaling the mid-century exploration for natural resources. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of unimproved tracks and a remote Landing Strip, reflecting the isolation of the high desert plateau. Water management and local drainage patterns are visible through features like Reservoir Canyon and Seep Canyon, while colorfully named landmarks such as Suicide Canyon and Death Trap Canyon suggest the formidable nature of the local geography.
