About this map

Cottonwood Creek carves a deep path through this section of Emery County, Utah, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by dramatic canyons and industrial heritage. The map documents a significant intersection of natural terrain and resource extraction, notably at the Coal Mining Monument Point of Ineterst situated near the southern canyon reaches. This area is historically linked to regional energy production, evidenced by the presence of the Trail Mountain Mine, Oliphant Mine, and Black Diamond Mine.

Away from the industrial sites, the topography transitions into a series of named swales and canyons, including Cox Swale and Indian Lodge Canyon. These features, alongside isolated water sources like Snow Lake and North Point Spring, illustrate the varied high-elevation environment typical of the region. The map provides a detailed look at how transportation routes and mining operations have historically negotiated the steep relief between Mahogany Point and the winding floor of Straight Canyon.
