About this map

Hiawatha and Mohrland sit at the center of this industrial landscape, where the canyons of the Wasatch Plateau meet the coal-rich seams of Emery County. The map documents a rugged terrain defined by significant mining operations, including the Hiawatha Mine, Blackhawk Mine, and the Mohrland Mine. These works are concentrated along the steep drainages of Huntington Canyon and Ben Johnson Canyon, illustrating the deep connection between the region's geology and its economic history.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the water management system is anchored by the Huntington Reservoir and the Huntington Dam along Huntington Creek. Recreation and transit are noted through the Bear Creek Campground and the winding Bear Canyon Rd. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and hollows such as Wild Cattle Hollow, Gentry Hollow, and McCadden Hollow, providing valuable geographical context for those tracing local history and land use patterns.
