About this map

The rugged industrial and pastoral landscape of Patmos Ridge is meticulously documented in this 1972 survey. The western edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the operations of the Sunnyside Mine and the historical location of the Upper Sunnyside (Site). These industrial features, connected by the Whitmore Canyon Road, reflect the high-desert mining activity that has long shaped Carbon County.

Further east, the terrain transitions into a series of deep canyons and high ridges, including Cottonwood Ridge and Bishop Ridge. Evidence of seasonal ranching is found at the North Willow Spring Cow Camp near North Willow Spring. The map traces numerous drainage systems like Mule Canyon and Dalton Canyon as they carve through the plateau toward Patmos Head, offering a precise record of the trails and drill holes used for resource exploration during the early 1970s.
