1973 Map of Ibapah

About this map

Ibapah sits as a primary settlement in the western Utah desert, framed by the towering Deep Creek Range to the east and the Goshute Indian Reservation to the south. This area is defined by its deep historical transit significance, most notably the Pony Express Overland Stage Route which traverses the valley floor. The map records the essential water sources that sustained travelers and residents in this arid landscape, including Chadman Spring, Secret Spring, and Greasewood Spring. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial Deep Creek valley to the high peaks of North Peak and South Peak. Local landmarks such as Nicholes Ranch and a Historical Marker signify the long-standing human presence here, while the complex drainage network of West, Middle, and East Deep Creek illustrates the vital hydrology of the Great Basin.
