1968 Map of Mesa Butte

About this map

Coal Cliffs and the Molen Reef dominate this Emery County landscape, where the geological strata of the San Rafael Swell area are laid bare by the erosive forces of Muddy Creek and Ivie Creek. The map records a remote section of the Colorado Plateau as it appeared in the late 1960s, showing early resource extraction sites like the Cowboy Mine and various unnamed prospects scattered through the canyons.
