1986 Map of Hall Creek South

About this map

Shoshone Range high country and the arid transition into the Carico Lake Valley dominate this mid-1980s topographical study. The landscape is defined by its industrial mineral potential, characterized by numerous prospects and specialized operations like the Open Pit Iowa Canyon Mine. Water remains a critical element for both mining and survival in this environment, with significant drainages like Hall Creek and the North Fork Skull Creek providing geological definition. The concentration of an Open Pit and various prospect locations near Iowa Creek Canyon reveals the intensity of exploration in the region during this period. This map serves as a detailed record of high-desert geography before later modern developments, marking numerous natural Spring and Springs locations essential to the local ecosystem and historical land use.
