1985 Map of Grassy

About this map

The Price River carves a complex, meandering path through this high desert terrain in Emery County, serving as the dominant geographic feature of the landscape. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR follows a more linear course, providing a critical transportation link through the Grassy area. The topographic detail highlights a series of significant drainage systems, including Coleman Wash, Humbug Wash, and Summerville Wash, which define the erosion patterns across Humbug Flats. Landforms such as Sugarloaf and Cliff 5358 rise above the surrounding washes, while the curiously named Neuversweat area suggests local nomenclature tied to the difficulty of the terrain. This 1980s-era survey documents the intersection of rail infrastructure and the naturally winding watercourses that have shaped this portion of the Utah interior.
