1991 Map of Heiners Creek

About this map

Echo Canyon serves as a primary corridor through this part of Summit County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and springs. The map shows the convergence of Heiners Creek and its South Fork as they flow toward the canyon bottom. This area, updated from aerial photography and field checks in the late 1980s, highlights the essential role of water in the high desert, evidenced by named points like Spring Emory and Mud Spring. Smaller tributaries like Fish Creek and Grass Valley Creek carve through the complex topography, while named canyons such as Thirtyfive Canyon and Stag Canyon branch off the main thoroughfare. An aqueduct and various water tanks underscore the engineered efforts to manage these resources in a region characterized by prominent peaks like Deseret.
