1979 Map of Jump Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Swisher Mine stands as a primary industrial marker in this high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, Utah, where resource extraction and rugged terrain intersect. The network of canyons, including Coal Canyon and Miller Canyon, highlights the region's historical reliance on coal mining and spring-fed water systems. Deep within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the topography is defined by prominent high-ground features like Telephone Bench and Cedar Bench, which provided vantage points for early infrastructure. Natural drainage patterns are dominated by Jump Creek and the North Fork Gordon Creek, tracing paths through a series of gulches and breaks. Numerous unnamed prospects and mines are scattered across the slopes, indicating a period of intense geological exploration. The presence of a Pipeline and various Jeep Trails underscores the ongoing efforts to manage and extract resources from this remote mountain territory during the late 1970s.
