About this map

The settlement of Emory sits at a critical junction of drainage and transportation within the high-relief landscape of Summit County. This 2017 survey highlights the deep topographical corridors of Echo Canyon and Stag Canyon, which have historically dictated the passage of travelers and rail through the Wasatch Range. The drainage of Heiners Creek and its branches, including the Left Fork Heiners Cr and S Fork Heiners Cr, carve through the terrain, creating a complex network of named hollows like Wolf Hollow and Shed Hollow.

Modern infrastructure is clearly defined along the valley floor, yet the map preserves local history through markers like the Emory Cem and a dense naming convention for surrounding canyons such as Lard Canyon, Tank Canyon, and Signal Canyon. A modern web of access roads including Skyline Dr and Tonys Canyon Rd winds across the ridges, providing a detailed look at contemporary land use and recreation access in this rugged portion of northern Utah.
