1963 Map of Jessen Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the High Uintas meet the Wyoming border. The terrain transitions from the open grazing lands of Lucerne Valley and Conner Basin in the north to the heavily timbered slopes of Jessen Butte and Windy Ridge in the south. This 1963 field-checked survey highlights a distinct ranching and recreational economy, evidenced by a remote Landing Strip and the Palisade Campground near Big Spring. Water management is central to life here, with an intricate system of Canals feeding off Birch Spring and Sheep Creek to support the lower valleys. Higher elevations feature notable landmarks like Sheep Creek Lake and Half Moon Park, alongside a singular Grave and a small Prospect that hint at the solitary lives of early residents and explorers in Daggett County.
