1968 Map of Needle Eye Point

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Needle Eye Point stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of southern Kane County, surveyed in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and high plateaus, including Dry Bench and the enigmatic Wind O Sash. Water is a scarce but critical resource here, marked by Needle Eye Water and the confluence of the Right Fork and Left Fork at Water Canyon. The presence of a lone Oil Well near Navajo Canyon indicates mid-century resource exploration in an otherwise desolate reach. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rugged paths, such as the Jeep Tr and various unnamed trails that navigate the slopes of Smoky Mountain and the Burning Hills, reflecting the area's isolation during this era of geologic study.
