1991 Map of Potters Creek

About this map

The Grouse Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Utah, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs defines the pattern of movement and land use. Near the southern edge of the range, Ingham Peak and Ingham Pass provide landmarks for navigating the transition toward the lowlands of Dry Basin. The map captures a moment in the early 1990s when 4WD tracks were the primary means of traversing the high country, connecting remote sites like the Prospect mine and the Stoke Spring Corral. Water sources such as Rosebud Spring and the multiple forks of Birch Creek and Little Birch Creek indicate the vital hydrology supporting livestock in the Buck Pasture area. This survey provides an essential view of the region's ranching and mineral exploration history.
