About this map

Grover and the enclave of Happy Valley sit amidst the high-altitude landscape of southern Utah, as documented in this early 1950s survey. The map details a complex transition from the protected woodlands of the Dixie National Forest to the deeply eroded drainages of the Miners Mountain plateau. This preliminary edition captures the area before modern infrastructure expanded, showing the intricate network of water sources such as Carcass Creek, Pleasant Creek, and Larb Hollow Spring that supported small settlements and livestock in this arid environment.

Distinctive geological formations dominate the topography, with landmarks like Lion Mtn, Chokecherry Point, and the prominent The Terrace providing orientation in the varied terrain. The inclusion of the Wayne Co Garfield Co boundary line and broad alluvial areas like Pleasant Creek Flats and Yergy Flat offers researchers specific points of reference for historic property lines and grazing patterns in the mid-century American West.
