1972 Map of Little Drum Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Little Drum Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Utah, serving as a prominent geographical barrier between basins. This 1972 survey records a network of deep drainage systems, including Buckhorn Canyon, Monument Canyon, and Dennison Canyon, which carve through the uplifted terrain. A notable geographic bottleneck, Little Drum Pass, provides a point of transit through the range, connecting the higher elevations to the broad expanse of the Whirlwind Valley to the southwest. The presence of a Jeep Trail winding through the center of the sheet indicates the limited, specialized access to this arid region. To the northwest, Black Point stands as a distinct landmark overlooking the rugged topography. The map also captures the lower drainage of Swasey Wash, illustrating how seasonal water flow shapes the alluvial fans at the mountain base.
