2014 Map of Grouse Creek

About this map

Grouse Creek anchors this high-desert basin in Box Elder County, where the settlement pattern follows the life-giving drainages of Grouse Cr and Etna Cr. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage, clearly visible through established family landmarks like Kimber Ranch and the isolated Kimber Ranch Burial site. To the west, the community of Etna sits near the Etna Reservoir, a vital water resource in a region carved by seasonal flows and deep canyons. The southern reach of the survey reveals the distinct geographical feature known as the Narrows of Dairy Valley, where Dairy Valley Cr cuts through the rising terrain. Transportation routes like Death Valley Rd and Ingham Pass Rd suggest the historic movement of people and livestock across Grouse Creek Valley, connecting the scattered homesteads and natural springs that sustained this remote corner of Utah.
