1968 Map of Gilsonite Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices through this high desert landscape, marking a significant historical line of demarcation across the Duchesne County terrain. Established through field checks in the late 1960s, the map reveals a rugged geography defined by the Bad Land Cliffs to the south and the drainage systems of Gilsonite Draw and Wells Draw. The western edge is dominated by the Ashley National Forest, while the interior shows the subtle marks of resource exploration and infrastructure, including a scattered Drill Hole and a prominent Pipeline. This survey captures a moment when the land was utilized for both conservation and industry, interconnected by a network of rudimentary Jeep Trails navigating between Fivemile Canyon and the broad Big Wash.
