1969 Map of Poison Spring Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Hiawatha anchors the northwest corner of this 1969 topographic study, where industrial infrastructure including a Substa and a Tailings Pond reflects the area's mining history at the Carbon and Emery county line. The map captures a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and flat-topped mesas, most notably the central Poison Spring Bench. Water sources are vital markers in this arid terrain, with several named springs such as Clawson Spring, Goat Ranch Spring, and Cottonwood Spring providing life to the surrounding canyons. To the south, the topography transitions into open areas like Trimble Flat and Nosey Joe Flat, bordered by features such as The Gumhill and Oil Well Bench. The presence of a Pipeline and scattered resource extraction sites like a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit indicate the mid-century development of local energy and construction industries.
