1968 Map of Emery West

About this map

Emery sits at the edge of the plateau on this late 1960s survey, where the agricultural flats meet the rising slopes of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and Fishlake National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Quitchupah Creek and Christiansen Wash carving deep paths toward the eastern valley. This era reveals the local reliance on the land, from the Link Canyon Mine in the north to the Gravel Pit near the southern boundary. Traces of community life appear at the Rodeo Grounds and Emery Cem, while the interior of the forest is marked only by a network of trails and jeep trails through rugged terrain like Knolls and Link Canyon.
