About this map

The House Range and Sawtooth Mountain dominate this western Utah landscape, revealing a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The terrain transitions from the steep elevations of Orr Ridge and North Side Canyon into the lower, eroded Badlands to the east. Geological exploration and extraction are central to this area's history, as evidenced by the numerous mining sites scattered throughout the mountains.

Resource seekers and geologists can identify the Klondike Mine nestled near Sawtooth Canyon, along with various prospects, an adit, and an Open Pit Mine in the southern reaches. The map details the remote character of Miller Cove and Marjum Canyon, documenting the land as it was surveyed through aerial photography from 1953 and field-checked at the end of the 1980s. A single Trans Line cuts across the northern corner near Kells Knolls, marking the limited human infrastructure in this high-desert environment.
