1969 Map of Poison Spring Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Hiawatha and its surrounding coal-country infrastructure dominate the northwestern corner of this Emery and Carbon County landscape during the late 1960s. The heavy industrial presence of the Utah Railway and a large Tailings Pond contrast sharply with the expansive, arid drainages of Poison Spring Bench. Water sources like Clawson Spring, Goat Ranch Spring, and Cottonwood Spring are carefully noted across this high-desert terrain, indicating their vital importance for livestock and local operations. The map reveals a transition from industrial activity to more primitive accessibility, marked by a Jeep Trail winding through Jackass Wash and past Oil Well Bench. The intricate network of washes, including Washboard Wash and Timothy Wash, underscores the complex erosion patterns that define the region's geography between Miller Creek and Nosey Joe Creek.
