1972 Map of Mount Bartles

About this map

Mount Bartles dominates this high-altitude landscape in the 1970s, a region of Carbon County characterized by deep canyons and prominent ridges. The area reveals a history of resource extraction and water management, evidenced by a Mine and Drill Hole located within the rugged drainage of Rock Canyon. A network of Jeep Trail and Pack Trail routes traverses the steep slopes, connecting isolated water sources such as Dancohall Spring and Hanging Rock Spring. The eastern portion of the survey is defined by the significant descent into the Right Fork Whitmore Canyon, while the southern edge features the Grassy Trail Reservoir. This map documents a transitional period in Utah's high country where traditional land uses like mining and livestock grazing met increasing demands for watershed protection and geological survey.
