1985 Map of House Park Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

House Park Butte serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of southeastern Utah, where the drainages of Butler Wash and Beef Basin carve through the plateau. The map captures the intersection of major public lands, with the northern reaches of the Manti-La Sal National Forest meeting the southern boundary of Canyonlands National Park. This transition is marked by geological features like Kirk Arch and the isolated drainage of West Fork Salt Creek. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features such as Ruin Canyon and Calf Canyon, while a solitary Adit and 4wd tracks suggest the history of uranium prospecting and cattle ranching that once defined this area. Reliable water sources like Crystal Spring and the sheltered Davis Pocket reflect the sparse but vital locations required for survival in this arid environment.
