About this map

East Mountain and the high plateaus of the Manti-La Sal National Forest dominate this 2011 survey, where the landscape is defined by deep incisions like Mill Fork Canyon and Crandall Canyon. The map documents the industrial presence of the Wasatch Plateau coal country, marking the Hunington Number 4 Mine and the Coenwal Mine north of the Rilda Canyon area. These operations are situated near the headwaters of Huntington Creek, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Transportation through this high-elevation terrain is facilitated by Miller Flat Rd and Indian Creek Rd, providing access to recreational sites such as the Indian Creek Campground. From the Scad Valley Divide in the northwest to the complex drainage of Left Fork Rilda Canyon, the map illustrates a network of hollows and ridges that separate the Upper Joes Valley from the surrounding peaks of Trail Mountain and Bald Ridge.
