1969 Map of Minnie Maud Creek East

About this map

Argyle Ridge and Minnie Maud Ridge dominate this section of the West Tavaputs Plateau, where the high desert landscape is deeply incised by drainages and steep escarpments. The Roan Cliffs rise sharply in the southern portion of the map, overlooking Whitmore Park. Water management and early industrial exploration are evident through the presence of a Gaging Station on Minnie Maud Creek and a Drill Hole located near Argyle Creek. The terrain is marked by a complex network of canyons such as Cottonwood Canyon and Rocky Canyon, while remote high-elevation features like Sky-high Pond suggest the challenges of local livestock grazing or seasonal water storage in this arid environment during the late 1960s.
