1996 Map of Kyune

About this map

Kyune sits at a critical transit juncture in Carbon County, where the Denver & Rio Grande Western RR follows the narrow corridor carved by the Price River. This mountainous landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational utility, showing a cluster of Mines, a Quarry, and multiple Gravel Pits that speak to the region's extraction history. The rugged topography is anchored by Indian Head and Beaver Ridge, with the steep Diamanti Canyon and Sulphur Canyon draining toward the river valley. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between the Ashley NF and the Price Canyon Recreation Area, illustrating how public lands are managed for both resource use and conservation. From the Communication Sites atop the ridges to the seasonal flow of Horse Creek, the map documents the infrastructure required to navigate and utilize this complex terrain in the late twentieth century.
