1952 Map of Mt Hillers

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mt Hillers dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, rising above a network of drainages and ridges that define the Henry Mountains region. Mapping by the Geological Survey in the early 1950s, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, highlights the isolation and specific utility of the terrain. The area shows evidence of mineral exploration and ranching, from the Prospect and Farmers Knob sites to the established Trachyte Ranch near Trachyte Creek. A remote Landing Strip and various Tunnels suggest the logistical challenges of surveying and industrial activity in this part of Garfield County. To the south, Mt Holmes and Mt Ellsworth anchor the high ground, separated by the Star Creek Benches and the prominent Maidenwater Sands. Family names and local descriptors appear throughout, identifying landmarks like Juds Knoll, Johns Knoll, and Freds Ridge alongside practical markers such as the Woodruff Spr Water Tank.
