1968 Map of Needle Eye Point

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Needle Eye Point anchors this high-desert landscape in Kane County, defined by a network of deep drainages and steep escarpments surveyed in the late 1960s. The terrain transitions from the Burning Hills in the east toward the high ridge of Smoky Mountain in the southwest, separated by the extensive plateau of Wind O Sash. The scarcity of water in this arid environment is highlighted by the named Needle Eye Water spring and seasonal drainage systems like Dry Wash and Last Chance Creek. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of jeep trails that navigate around landmarks such as Shute Point and through Whities Canyon. A lone Oil Well in the northeast corner of the quadrangle suggests the era's focus on resource exploration within these remote canyonlands.
