1969 Map of Minnie Maud Creek West

About this map

Argyle Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this region on the border of Duchesne and Carbon counties. This 1969 field survey reveals a terrain defined by high plateaus and deep drainage systems, where Minnie Maud Creek winds eastward through a complex of canyons including Pearl Canyon and Corral Canyon. The geography shift south of the Roan Cliffs into the broad, relatively level expanses of Emma Park and Whitmore Park illustrates the dramatic shelf-like transition of the Book Cliffs region. Human presence in this high-elevation wilderness is recorded primarily through infrastructure like the Warren Trail and Antony Trail, alongside specialized sites such as Orson Bedground. These markers, along with the numerous named canyons like Maynard Canyon and Earl Canyon, provide essential data for tracing early grazing routes and land use patterns in rural Utah.
