2012 Map of Protsmans Knob

About this map

Protsmans Knob rises above a high-desert landscape defined by a complex drainage network in this section of Converse County. The area’s ranching and homesteading heritage is evidenced by the presence of Miller Cabin near the banks of Little Deer Cr, while reliable water sources like Mesa Spring and Alphin Spring provided essential resources for life in this arid environment. Significant terrain features such as Rocky Ridge and Mickey Gulch overlook the lower Duck Creek Flats, where seasonal waterways including Virden Cr and Strawberry Cr converge. This 2012 survey illustrates a remote landscape where travel still follows traditional paths like Mormon Canyon Rd and Duck Creek Rd, highlighting the enduring spatial relationship between natural landmarks and the few human improvements established in the region.
