2010 Map of Pine Point

About this map

The Montezuma Mine sits isolated within a landscape dominated by the striking geologic formations of the White Cliffs and the elevated plateaus of Skutumpah Terrace. This 2010 survey records a high-desert environment defined by dramatic vertical relief, where cattle ranching and mineral exploration have historically shaped the human presence. Significant drainages like Johnson Canyon and Long Canyon cut through the terrain, providing natural corridors through the varied topography of Wygaret Terrace and Timber Mountain. The presence of Billy Pasture and several named points, including Second Point and Spring Point, indicates a legacy of local land use and geographic navigation in this part of Kane County. Transportation is limited to the periphery, notably via N Johnson Canyon Rd, reflecting the area's enduring character as an expansive wilderness area.
