1964 Map of Heiners Creek

About this map

Emory serves as a small waypoint along the Union Pacific rail line as it snakes through the steep-walled Echo Canyon in Summit County. This mid-1960s survey documents the critical transport corridor where the railroad and road infrastructure parallel the creek bed, flanked by numerous side drainages such as Thirtyfive Canyon and Stag Canyon. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep erosion and drainage patterns, with Heiners Creek and its tributaries, including Left Fork Heiners Creek and South Fork, carving through the high country. In the southern reaches, the terrain opens slightly into Grass Valley Creek and the bifurcated paths of Sawmill Canyon and Little Sawmill Canyon. Strategic infrastructure like a Water Tank and a Radio Facility are noted, while the boundary between Morgan and Summit Counties follows the ridgelines to the northwest.
