1968 Map of Monument Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Curlew Valley dominates this high-desert landscape along the border between Oneida County and Box Elder County. In the late 1960s, this arid stretch of the Great Basin reflects a sparsely populated environment primarily utilized for livestock and resource extraction. Evidence of ranching and land management appears in the scattered corrals and numerous wells that dot the valley floor, providing vital water in a region where Deep Creek and Coyote Spring are primary natural sources. The map captures a moment of mid-century infrastructure, marked by the presence of a Radio Facility and several Borrow Pits used for local road construction or maintenance. The lack of established towns highlights the isolation of this borderland, where the economy was tied to the land and the simple structures of the Storage Bin and exploratory Drill Hole.
