1970 Map of Preacher Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Diamond Ridge dominates this high-plateau landscape in Grand County, where the topography is defined by deeply incised drainages and the industrial activity of the Gas Field. This 1970 survey, updated in the late 1980s, documents a network of extraction infrastructure including several Gas Wells and numerous Drill Holes scattered across the ridges. Movement through this difficult terrain relies on a sparse system of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail that follows the contours of Preacher Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with Rock Spring and Red Spring noted alongside Westwater Creek, which carves a major path through the center of the sheet. The map also identifies specific geographic markers such as Jumping Off Point and Survey Point, alongside cattle-handling features like a Corral, reflecting the region's intersection of ranching and energy exploration.
