1959 Map of Park Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Raft River Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Utah and Idaho, offering a window into the remote ranching and forest management practices of the late 1950s. The settlement of Park Valley sits at the base of the range, connected by a string of survey benchmarks to the nearby community of Rosette. To the north, the terrain climbs sharply into the Sawtooth National Forest, where the Onemile Guard Sta and The Meadows mark points of human activity amidst a complex network of canyons like Sawmill Canyon and Duncan Canyon. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources, from the isolated Bull Lake and Fisher Lake to numerous named springs such as Dipping Vat Spring and Docken Corral Spring. These features, alongside scattered prospect markings and the Park Valley Cemetery, document the survival and industry of small settlements in the Great Basin's rugged high-desert country.
