1972 Map of Pinnacle Peak

About this map

The industrial and high-desert landscape of Carbon County is defined here by the steep ravines and flat-topped mesas of the Book Cliffs region. The Utah Railway serves as a primary corridor through the terrain, with industrial infrastructure centered around Wattis Siding and Wattis Junction. These transit points reflect the area's historical reliance on mineral extraction and transport, where rail lines navigate the challenging elevations between Porphyry Bench and the lower Serviceberry Creek valley. Numerous jeep trails and an old Railroad Grade spider across the benches, indicating a history of exploration and access into more remote areas like The Cove and Horse Canyon. From the prominent summit of Pinnacle Peak to the various named washes, the map reveals a complex network of geological formations and the logistical efforts required to move resources through this corner of the state.
