1954 Map of Range Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Range Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of Emery and Carbon counties, serving as a vital corridor in this mid-century survey of eastern Utah. Isolated outposts such as Pilling Ranch and Wilcox Ranch are connected only by a network of jeep trails, illustrating the extreme isolation of the landscape before modern infrastructure. The Green River forms a massive eastern boundary, winding through the iconic Desolation Canyon and Gray Canyon. This waterway separates the rugged benches from the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation and Uncompahgre Indian Reservation to the east. Distinctive landmarks like Xmas Mtn and Valley Mtn tower over a complex system of side canyons including Turtle Canyon and Lighthouse Canyon, while a solitary Coal deposit near the southern river bend hints at the region's geologic and industrial potential.
