1962 Map of Sams Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Strawberry River flows along the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Duchesne County, where a complex network of canyons and hollows defines the terrain. Recorded through field checks in the early 1960s, the map reveals a remote area marked primarily by its geological features and early resource extraction. The northeastern corner contains evidence of local mining history with the Frank Mine and Payne Mine, both situated near Bowen Canyon. Extensive trail networks and 4WD tracks thread through Sams Canyon and its many tributaries, such as Dipping Vat Hollow and Raspberry Hollow. Named water sources like Driscoll Spring and Wildhorse Spring appear as vital landmarks in this arid, high-country environment, providing a sense of the logistical challenges faced by early travelers and miners in the region.
