About this map

Deep Creek Range heights dominate this 1970s survey, illustrating the high-altitude terrain of western Utah. The geography is defined by a series of steep drainages including Fifteenmile Canyon, Gash Canyon, and Erickson Canyon which flow toward the west. A significant portion of the landscape falls within the Goshute Indian Reservation, where the Reservation Boundary cuts through the high ridges of Red Mountain. Industrial and historical activity is marked by the Queen of Sheba Mine and several other prospects, indicating the mineral interests that once drew people to these peaks.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid landscape, with Chicken Springs, Dads Spring, and Trout Creek providing the primary landmarks for navigation. Human presence is sparse, indicated only by scattered Ruins, a few isolated Jeep Trails, and a Pack Trail that crosses the Granite Canyon area. The presence of the Ibapah Azimuth and Uslm 2 benchmark points reflect the precision of the early 1970s topographic work in this remote section of Juab County.
