1979 Map of Slate Jack Canyon

About this map

Long Ridge dominates the center of this landscape, serving as a high divide between the broad basins of Goshen Valley to the northwest and Juab Valley to the east. This 1970s survey captures a transition zone defined by essential water sources and rugged relief, including the drainage of Slate Jack Canyon and the named water holes critical for regional livestock and wildlife, such as State Jack Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Lunt-Lattimer Spring. The eastern edge is anchored by the Mona Reservoir, with the Goshen Canyon Road providing the primary transit corridor through the northern gap. Evidence of human enterprise is scattered throughout the terrain, from prospecting sites and a Mine on the northern slopes to the distinctive landmark of The Devils Stairs in the southwest, reflecting a history of small-scale mineral exploration and ranching typical of this part of the state.
