About this map

Pleasant Valley serves as the central corridor for this Utah mining region, anchored by the town of Scofield and the industrial activity of Clear Creek. The landscape is defined by its extensive underground extraction history, with several operations such as the Skyline Mine, Gibson Mine, and Old Black Diamond Mine dotting the canyon floors. These sites are linked by a complex network of forest and resource roads, including Skyline Dr and Boarding House Canyon Rd, which navigate the deep drainages of Winter Quarters Canyon and Eccles Canyon.

The presence of the Scofield Cemetery near the northern reservoir shoreline provides a focal point for genealogical research in this coal-producing district. Significant water management is evident at the northern and southern reaches of the map, where the Scofield Reservoir and Electric Lake bookend the valley. High-elevation features like Winter Quarters Ridge and Granger Ridge overlook a topography deeply etched by narrow gulches, such as Number Four Gulch and Swens Canyon, reflecting a century of resource reliance.
