1964 Map of Duchesne SW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Indian Canyon and the high elevations of Cottonwood Ridge dominate this mid-1960s survey of the Duchesne region. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep drainage systems, including Sowers Canyon and Tabby Canyon, which reveal the complex geography of the Uintah Basin's southern reaches. Unlike more settled valleys, this landscape is defined by remote infrastructure, featuring scattered mines and a well situated near Wire Fence Canyon. A network of simple trails and jeep trails provides the only access through the winding corridors of Cottonwood Canyon and Coyote Canyon. Water sources like Marshall Springs appear as critical landmarks for anyone navigating this high-country environment before modern development. The map's contour lines and labels illustrate a period of extractive interest and land management by the Geological Survey during a time when much of the area remained largely inaccessible by standard road.
