1962 Map of Sams Canyon

About this map

Strawberry River flows across the northern edge of this high-country landscape, where narrow canyons and steep hollows define the drainage patterns of the western Uintah Basin. The topography is characterized by a complex network of dry and seasonal watercourses, including Sams Canyon and the notable Lake Canyon to the south. Mineral extraction is represented by the Frank Mine and Payne Mine in the northeastern corner, while early 20th-century ranching and survey landmarks appear in the form of named water sources like O Driscoll Spring and Wildhorse Spring.
