1985 Map of Grover

About this map

Grover sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape where the southern border of Capitol Reef National Park meets the vast expanse of the Dixie National Forest. This 1985 survey, based on field work from the late 1970s, documents a transition from the structured drainages of Carcass Creek and Sulphur Creek to the high plateaus of Boulder Mountain. Human presence is marked by isolated mountain outposts like Chokecherry Meadow and Rock Creek Meadow, alongside evidence of resource extraction at the Borrow Pit, Mine Shaft, and various prospects on Miners Mountain. The terrain is defined by dramatic geologic features such as Devils Slide, The Terrace, and the sweeping Pleasant Creek Flats near Jorgenson Flat, providing a detailed record of the trails and 4WD tracks used by ranchers and miners before more modern developments shaped the region.
