About this map

Eastland and Lockerby serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and grazing landscape along the Utah-Colorado border during the late 1950s. The region is defined by high plateau fingers like Pearsons Point and Horsehead Point that overlook a complex system of drainages, including Piute Creek and Coal Bed Creek. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, marking the locations of the East Summit School and Burn School, alongside the Valley View Cemetery.

Notable landmarks such as Piute Knoll VABM 7052 and Dry Farm VABM 6833 provide specific elevation benchmarks for researchers. The presence of a Shaft near Summit Canyon and several unnamed Cem sites highlights the localized history of settlement and resource extraction. A single Roadside Park along the main thoroughfare suggests the early development of traveler amenities in this remote corner of San Juan County.
