1971 Map of Grouse Creek

About this map

Grouse Creek serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in northern Utah, where the life of the valley is dictated by the water flowing from the surrounding peaks. The map reveals a systematic approach to water management in an arid environment, notably through the Etna Reservoir and the network of natural springs like Etna Spring and Buckskin Spring. Settlement is sparse and largely confined to the Grouse Valley, where the economy appears tied to land use and ranching rather than heavy industry.
