1969 Map of Minnie Maud Creek East

About this map

The high plateau landscape along the Duchesne Co Carbon Co boundary is defined by the deep incisions of Minnie Maud Creek and its many named tributaries. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals an era of resource exploration and water management in the region, noted by a Drill Hole near Pinnacle Canyon and a Gaging Station downstream from Pack Canyon. The topography is a complex network of ridges and draws, including Argyle Ridge and Minnie Maud Ridge, which provided natural corridors for travel. Local family and place names are preserved in features like Sorensen Draw, Brundage Cove, and Sorens Canyon. Higher elevations such as Whitmore Park are dotted with landmarks like Sky-high Pond, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the Nine Mile Creek drainage system, a vital water source for the surrounding high country.
