1968 Map of Salvation Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Oil Well Bench and the Moroni Slopes define this high-desert region of Central Utah during the late 1960s. The landscape is marked by the deep erosional patterns of Last Chance Wash and Temple Wash, which carve through the arid terrain toward the Middle Desert. A corner of Capitol Reef National Monument is visible in the southwest, indicating the transition into protected geological formations. Of particular interest to industrial historians is the presence of several Drill Hole markers near Salvation Creek, signaling the era's mineral and petroleum exploration efforts across this Emery and Wayne County borderland. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the varying elevations of the Little Black Mountains and up toward the plateau of Mussentuchit Flat.
