1952 Map of Mt Hillers

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Henry Mountains dominate this 1952 topographic study, showing the high-elevation peaks of Mt Hillers, Mt Holmes, and Mt Ellsworth rising above the surrounding desert floor. The landscape is marked by the infrastructure of early ranching and mining, notably the Trachyte Ranch in the north and the Del Monte Mine to the south. Mapped in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission during a period of intense geological exploration in Utah, the survey identifies critical water sources in an arid environment, including the Woodruff Spr Water Tank and various named seeps like Maidenwater Spring and Hog Spring. The eastern edge is defined by deep incisions like Trachyte Creek and the notable Hoskininni Monument. This document preserves the complex system of local place names for high-desert features such as The Cove, Black Hole, and Juds Knoll, providing a clear view of the territory before modern recreational development.
