1968 Map of Emery East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Emery and the smaller settlement of Moore anchor this landscape during the late 1960s, where the high desert terrain of the San Rafael Swell meets the eastern edge of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The geography is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the irrigated fields near the town centers to the striking geological formations of the Molen Reef and the Coal Cliffs. The path of Muddy Creek carves through the center of the sheet, its importance to the local economy evidenced by the Gaging Station and various irrigation networks. Researchers will find interest in the documented infrastructure of the era, including a Radio Facility, a Gravel Pit, and the local Cem cemetery near the town site. The rugged southern reaches are accessible only by a Jeep Trail, winding through landmarks like Miller Canyon and Molon Seep.
