1963 Map of Floy Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation occupies the northeastern corner of this 1963 survey, a landscape defined by deep drainages and high ridges. The rugged topography is etched with numerous Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that provided essential access to remote livestock water sources like Showerbath Spring and Tom Spr. Small-scale resource extraction is evident at the Crescent Mine and several unnamed Mines tucked into Bobby Canyon and Floy Canyon. These sites speak to the era's prospecting efforts within the dramatic elevation changes of the Book Cliffs. Names like Tom Farrer Valley and Poverty Bench suggest the hardscrabble nature of early settlement and land use in this corner of Grand County. The map also documents unique landmarks such as Nutters Hole and Nine Mile Hole, which served as critical points of reference in the vast, arid terrain.
