1967 Map of Granger Mtn

About this map

Uinta National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by a complex network of canyons and high ridges east of the Utah Valley in the late 1960s. The map centers on the prominent Granger Mountain, surrounded by deeply incised drainages such as Whittemore Canyon, Grindstone Canyon, and Wannrhodes Canyon. The drainage of Hobble Creek provides the primary corridor for human activity, with its Right Fork and Left Fork serving as focal points for recreational development. This era of forest management is evidenced by several established recreation sites including Balsam Campground and Kolob Campground, alongside the Hobble Cr Guard Sta. The transition from lower elevations to the high Wanrhodes Basin is connected by a system of primitive routes and trails, reflecting the area's use for both conservation and mountain access before modern paved infrastructure reached deep into these draws.
