1968 Map of Kappes Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Quaking Asp Mtn dominates the eastern high ground of this Sweetwater County landscape, where deep drainages like Kappes Canyon and Barney Canyon carve through the high desert. The 1968 terrain reflects a region defined by industrial and natural resource utility, marked by an extensive Pipeline network and evidence of extraction at a Mine and Mine Dump near the head of Barney Canyon. In the lower elevations, the seasonal hydrology of Sand Wash and Little Bitter Creek contrasts with permanent water sources like Ninemile Spring and Mullen Camp Spring. Local geography is further detailed through family or descriptive landmarks such as Antelope Butte and Dugway Walkie Canyon, while the Three Patches Picnic Area suggests a rare pocket of designated recreation amidst the working landscape of canyons and grazing allotments.
