1971 Map of Mt. Dutton

About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Dixie National Forest is defined by the massive Paunsaugunt Plateau and its complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain rises to the prominent peak of Mt Dutton, which is marked by a Radio Tower. The map reveals a high country managed for ranching and forest service operations, evidenced by the Jones Corral Guard Station and scattered water infrastructure like Jones Corral Res and Mule Flat Reservoir. Accessibility in this period was limited to a web of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, emphasizing the area's isolation and its use for grazing. Significant named points of interest for local history include the remote Winnemucca Spring and the distinctive open spaces of Hootle Flat and Dandelion Flat.
