1988 Map of Crows Nest Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

San Rafael Desert dominates this 1980s landscape, revealing a remote terrain defined by its scarce water sources and mineral exploration. The presence of a Mine Shaft and Adit near the center of the sheet indicates small-scale mining operations or prospecting efforts tucked into the desert's topography. Water remains the most critical feature for any historic activity here, marked by isolated points like Crows Nest Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and a Flowing Well. These vital oases are connected by rugged 4wd tracks that follow the natural drainage patterns of Cottonwood Wash and Iron Wash. The map documents a moment when traditional land use—centered on stock watering and mining—persisted in this arid portion of Emery County, Utah.
