1969 Map of Minnie Maud Creek West

About this map

Roan Cliffs dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Duchesne and Carbon counties, rising above the canyon systems of the Uinta Basin. The drainage of Minnie Maud Creek carves a deep valley between Argyle Ridge and Minnie Maud Ridge, defining the local topography. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the traditional land-use patterns of the era, marked by features such as Orson Bedground and the Warren Trail. In the southern portion of the map, the high plateau opens into Whitmore Park and Emma Park, separated by the Brook Meadow area. The network of jeep trails and canyons, including Maynard Canyon and Jack Canyon, illustrates the remote and utilitarian character of this region before modern infrastructure changes, providing a clear record of the watershed and ranching access points during the late 1960s.
