1972 Map of Indian Farm Creek

About this map

Snake Valley serves as the topographic anchor for this 1970s survey, illustrating a remote landscape of high peaks and arid lowlands in Juab County. The map details a vital water management system, tracing a significant Aqueduct that skirts the foothills to collect runoff from high-elevation drainages such as Indian Farm Creek and Toms Creek. Human activity is concentrated around isolated resource points, including the Falkenberg Ranch and the CCC Campground, while the presence of scattered prospects and mines in the granite-laden canyons suggests a history of mineral exploration. Transport in this region is defined by the Weiss Highway and a network of Jeep Trails that penetrate deep into Cottonwood Canyon and Horse Canyon. This record provides a clear look at how early 1970s infrastructure and ranching adapted to the challenging basin and range geography.
