1972 Map of Deadman Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Knight (Ideal) Mine sits at the heart of this resource-focused landscape in Carbon County, representing the industrial character of the region in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Deadman Creek, Bitter Creek, and Soldier Creek, which cut through the high plateaus of Emma Park and Whitmore Park. While much of the area is traversable only by a Jeep Trail or Pack Trail, the presence of a significant Pipeline and various prospects highlights the ongoing search for mineral and energy wealth. The transition from the high northern parks down through Deadman Canyon toward the Gravel Pits in the south illustrates the distinct verticality of the Utah landscape. This map captures a moment when traditional resource extraction and modern infrastructure like pipelines began to overlay the older trail networks and drainages such as Hoffman Creek and Alkali Creek.
