About this map

Kyune and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Utah Co-Carbon Co border are defined by the narrow corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This industrial lifeline follows the path of the Price River through steep canyons, serving a landscape marked by scattered Mines, a Quarry, and multiple Gravel Pits. The map illustrates the logistical challenges of the era, where the railroad and the primary roadway are squeezed between the rising walls of Price Canyon and the expansive Emma Park plateau.

Recreational and utility infrastructure appears alongside these industrial features, including the Price Canyon Recreation Area with its dedicated Campgrounds and Picnic Area. Higher elevations are navigated by a network of Jeep Trails and primitive tracks crossing Ford Ridge and Diamanti Ridge. Water management is evident at the Kyune Reservoir and several isolated springs, while Radio Towers and a Gaging Station indicate the technical monitoring of this mountain pass environment during the late 1960s.
