1968 Map of Monument Peak

About this map

Hansel Mountains rise sharply in this 1960s survey of Box Elder County, anchored by the prominent Monument Peak. The terrain is defined by the broad, arid stretches of Curlew Valley to the north and Sage Valley to the east, illustrating a landscape managed for grazing and sparse industrial utility. Evidence of remote human activity is limited to functional markers such as a Storage Bin, a Water Tank, and a Borrow Pit, alongside several benchmarked locations and a lone Well. This topographic record provides a clear view of the high-desert geography before later developments, highlighting named landforms like Cedar Hill and Johnson Hill that serve as primary navigational landmarks in an otherwise open and unpopulated territory.
