1968 Map of Monument Peak SW

About this map

Curlew Valley dominates the landscape of this Box Elder County survey, where the arid basin floor meets the distinct elevations of the Wildcat Hills and Cedar Hill. This territory is defined by its transit history, most notably marked by the Old Central Pacific Grade cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This alignment represents a significant corridor in the history of American rail expansion through Northern Utah. The hydrology of the area is primarily shaped by the winding course of Deep Creek, which flows through the valley floor. The map illustrates a remote western landscape where historical infrastructure and natural topography intersect, providing a clear view of the land's character following the late 1960s field checks.
