1969 Map of Poison Spring Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Poison Spring Bench dominates the center of this high-desert landscape on the boundary between Carbon and Emery counties. In the late 1960s, the terrain was defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Jackass Wash, Sand Wash, and Timothy Wash. Evidence of earlier industrial activity is preserved through the Old Railroad Grade and a Tailings Pond near the western edge. This area, largely defined by its water sources, features several critical desert watering points such as Clawson Spring, Goat Ranch Spring, and Cottonwood Spring. The topographic detail also highlights localized landmarks like The Knoll and the broad, level expanse of Trimble Flat, providing a clear picture of the land's utility for ranching and resource extraction during this era.
