1971 Map of Runswick Wash

About this map

Matlin Mts dominate the southeastern landscape of this high desert terrain in Box Elder County, where the dry drainage of Runswick Wash cuts through the basin toward Cliff Reservoir. The topography recorded during this 1968 photogrammetric survey reveals an arid environment defined by seasonal watercourses like Dove Creek and Warm Spring Wash, with travel across the area limited to a network of Jeep Trails. Local landmarks such as Airplane Hill and Coyote Hill rise from the desert floor, providing vertical relief in a region where mapping was essential for navigating the remote interior of northern Utah. The map captures the land as it existed in the early 1970s, showing the intersection of township and range lines in a largely unsettled expanse of the Great Basin.
