2011 Map of North Willow Canyon

About this map

Mining claims and deep drainage networks characterize this high-altitude landscape in the Stansbury Mountains. Several named operations, including the Western Star Mine and Metal Queen Mine, are clustered along the western slopes, providing a look at the historical mineral extraction that once drove the local economy. The terrain is deeply incised by major channels such as North Willow Canyon and Magpie Canyon, which gather water from remote points like Magpie Canyon Spring and White Rock Spring. Near the southern boundary, the Mining Fork of South Willow Canyon leads toward the Cottonwood Campground, where recreation meets the remnants of industrial history. At the higher elevations, the North Willow Lake sits nestled above a series of steep descents, while the historical corridor of the Mormon Trl marks the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
