About this map

Cherokee Mine and other high-altitude mining operations define the industrial footprint of this high desert landscape in the early 21st century. Situated along the boundary of the Crawford Mountains, the map reveals a history of extraction concentrated around Brazier Canyon, where the Benjamin Mine and Frank Mine are also located. The rugged terrain is further characterized by prominent summits like Rex Peak and the winding course of the Bear River, which cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle.

Remote livestock operations such as Kearl Ranch and Rex Ranch are connected by a network of local tracks, including Mine Rd and Weston Ln. Water management is evident through features like Larson Dam and scattered natural sources including Brazier Spring and Larson Spring. This survey provides a precise view of the interface between ranching life and mineral extraction in the borderlands of Wyoming and Utah.
