1969 Map of Scipio South

About this map

Scipio sits at the northern edge of this high-desert basin, where the agricultural flats of Scipio Valley transition into the steep drainages of the Pavant Range and the Mountains to the east. The landscape is defined by its water sources and livestock history, with names like Ralph Lund Spring, Billys Canyon, and Sorensen Canyon marking the rugged geography. A distinct seasonal drainage pattern emerges as Round Valley Creek flows through the center of the sheet, passing through the narrow passage known as The Gap. This area within the Fishlake National Forest contains numerous remote landmarks, including Noon Rock Peak and Wills Hole, while several Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive activity that supported the region's infrastructure during the late 1960s.
