1980 Map of Little Creek Mountain

About this map

Little Creek Mountain dominates the landscape of Washington County, Utah, in this 1980 survey, characterized by its prominent high plateaus and the transition to the Little Plain. This topographic study, based on 1973 aerial photography, details a landscape defined by dramatic geological transitions like Canaan Gap and the northern reach of Gooseberry Mesa. Resource extraction and land management are evident through the presence of several Cinderpits near Gray Knoll and a Radio Tower on the central heights. Isolated water sources such as Gould Spring and the drainage of Gould Wash highlight the arid environment. A distinctive local clearing, Abs Clearing, appears on the mountain's upper reaches, providing a specific reference point for researchers tracing the history of local land use and seasonal activity in the high desert of the Arizona-Utah border region.
