1952 Map of Santaquin Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Loafer Mountain and Santaquin Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Utah, Juab, and Sanpete counties converge. The 1952 field check documents a rugged transition between the Uinta National Forest and the Manti-La Sal National Forest. While much of the terrain is defined by dramatic relief like Black Canyon Creek and the Devils Kitchen formation, the human footprint is concentrated along the eastern corridor. Here, the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad and U.S. 89 connect small settlements such as Birdseye and Indianola. Recreational and administrative development is evident through the Payson Guard Station, the Bear Canyon Recreation Area, and The Pines Campground, reflecting the mid-century management of these mountain ranges for both timber and public use.
