1985 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mount Carmel and Mount Carmel Junction anchor the northern reaches of this mid-1980s landscape, situated where Muddy Creek joins the Virgin River drainage. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological transitions, notably the towering White Cliffs and Elkheart Cliffs that overlook a complex system of drainages including Miners Gulch and Yellowjacket Canyon. The map records a period of agricultural and infrastructural adaptation, showing a Gravel Pit and scattered Well sites amid the high-desert topography.
