1968 Map of Mussentuchit Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mussentuchit Flat defines this arid landscape in Emery County, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages and vital water catchments supported ranching and transit in the late 1960s. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevations like Deadman Peak and Hebes Mountain, with the distinctive Twin Peaks rising near the center of the survey. The distribution of small-scale water infrastructure, including Blue Flat Reservoir, Dinner Pond, and Reeds Pond, reveals the essential role of water management in this high-desert environment. A web of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating between these points, connecting the low-lying Mussentuchit Wash to higher ground at Red Point and the slopes of Cedar Mountain. These trails often follow the natural contours of the wash systems, such as Willow Springs Wash, illustrating the continued reliance on geographic pathways established long before modern road development.
