1972 Map of Pinnacle Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Utah Railway corridor defines this industrial and high-desert landscape in Carbon County, where the rails transition from the flats into the steep canyons of the Wasatch Plateau. The 1970s infrastructure is clearly visible through the presence of Wattis Junction and Wattis Siding, critical points for the regional coal-hauling economy. The topography is dominated by expansive plateaus like Porphyry Bench and Horse Bench, which rise above deep drainages such as Gordon Creek and Serviceberry Creek. An Old Railroad Grade near Miller Creek suggests shifting transport patterns in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also records early industrial exploration with a Drill Hole in Haley Canyon, while prominent landmarks like Pinnacle Peak provide visual orientation for the network of jeep trails crossing The Cove.
