1997 Map of Heiners Creek

About this map

Echo Canyon Creek defines the lower corridor of this high-elevation terrain on the Summit County and Morgan County border. The landscape is characterized by a network of steep drainages, including the Hollow of the Thistles and Wolf Hollow, which feed into Heiners Creek. Human intervention in this environment is marked by an adqueduct following the canyon floor and a radio facility situated on a southern ridge. A web of 4wd tracks provides the primary access through the canyons, connecting scattered water sources like Mud Spring and the Left Fork. The presence of several borrow pits near the main canyon floor suggests local material extraction for the infrastructure lining the creek, while the higher elevations remain largely undeveloped with named features focusing on topographic landmarks and seasonal water.
