1989 Map of Luke Mountain

About this map

Luke Mine sits at the northern heights of this Powell County landscape, marking a site of industrial activity near the summit of Luke Mountain. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages including Deep Gulch, Homestead Gulch, and Shearing Plant Gulch, which all funnel toward the central waterways. The confluence of the Blackfoot River and the Little Blackfoot River dominates the central valley, where the infrastructure of the late 1980s is evident through a Gaging Station and various utility lines. South of the river, the topography rises again toward prominent landmarks such as Castle Rock and the high spine of Rocky Ridge. This survey captures the transition from high-altitude resource extraction to the managed valley floor, featuring a small Roadside Park and a network of pipelines and transmission lines that reflect the region's role as a corridor for energy and water management.
