1952 Map of Mt Pennell 1 NW

About this map

Mt Millers and the surrounding high country of Garfield County dominate this 1952 preliminary survey, which documents a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Coyote Creek and Straight Creek carve through Coyote Bench and Taylor Ridge, revealing the complex geological character of the region before more modern road networks were established. While human habitation is nearly absent, a few isolated structures, marked simply as House, suggest the sparse ranching or seasonal use typical of the era. The map traces early transportation routes including a simple Road and Trail system that connects remote landmarks like Stanton Pass and Bulldog Hole. Notable peaks such as Bulldog Peak and Cass Creek Peak provide essential orientation points in this intricate terrain of deep canyons and narrow ridges. Local water sources, including Mud Spring and Mud Lake, highlight the critical and limited resources available to those traversing the area during the early 1950s.
