1968 Map of Horse Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Horse Mountain dominates this corner of Kane County, part of a high-desert landscape defined by prominent plateau levels and deeply incised drainage systems. In the late 1960s, the area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by wide elevations such as Paradise Bench and Squaw Bench that drop away into the complex network of Escalante Canyon and Paradise Canyon. The geography reflects the necessity of water in this arid environment, with specific labels marking reliable points like Tommy Water and Fourmile Water. Human access at the time was limited to a rudimentary Jeep Trail, which winds through the terrain to connect these isolated water sources and benches. The transition from the high plateau of Fourmile Bench down through Fourmile Canyon illustrates the dramatic verticality of the region's sedimentary layers before the widespread modern mapping of the Utah backcountry.
