1961 Map of Pine Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Shirley Mountains dominate the southwestern portion of this 1961 survey, where the terrain transitions into the Little Rock Basin. This high-elevation Carbon County landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Difficulty Creek and Sullivan Creek carve through the upland country. Settlement is sparse, characterized by isolated holdings such as Potter Ranch and First Ranch, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on large-scale ranching and water management. Local historical markers like The Chimneys (Site) suggest earlier habitations or landmarks known to early travelers and residents. The presence of numerous water sources, including Shirley Springs and several Flowing Wells, underscores the importance of reliable water in this arid environment. Industrial activity is limited but present, indicated by a Mine and a Gravel Pit, pointing toward the localized extraction of resources during the mid-century period.
