1922 Map of Emery No.3

About this map

Johns Peak and Deer Peak dominate this 1922 advance sheet of central Utah, which captures the high-elevation drainage systems before modern development altered the mountain passes. Surveyed by W.B. Upton, Jr., the map focuses on the complex topography where Red Creek and Clear Creek carve through the Sevier County landscape. A single primitive Road is traced through the canyon following the course of Clear Creek, indicating the primary travel route through these mountains in the early twentieth century. The map also identifies the headwaters of the East Fork, providing a precise record of the natural hydrology and land divisions within Township 24 and 25 South. This document serves as a foundational topographic study of the region's vertical relief, as it was published as an advance sheet subject to later correction.
