1985 Map of Deseret Peak West

About this map

The dramatic vertical rise of the Stansbury Mountains dominates this mid-1980s survey, marking a sharp transition from the arid expanse of Skull Valley to the high-altitude terrain of the Wasatch National Forest. Centered on the towering height of Deseret Peak, the map captures a complex drainage system of canyons, including Indian Hickman Canyon and Antelope Canyon, which channel seasonal water from the peaks toward the valley floor. To the south, the northern reaches of the Indian Reservation are documented, showing the intersection of tribal lands with the vast public forest. The hydrology of the range is particularly detailed, tracing the forks of North Middle Lost Creek and South Lost Creek as they descend through steep ravines, alongside the isolated South Willow Lake tucked high into the mountain's eastern shoulder.
