1966 Map of South Tent Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Sanpete and Emery county line, where an intricate network of early water management infrastructure supported the valley below. Local ranchers and sheepherders utilized high-country grazing lands like Soren Peterson Meadow and Sheep Canyon Flat, while the complex hydraulics of the Potters Canyon Ditch and City Ditch redirected snowmelt through the mountains. Engineering for water transport is evident in the Mountain Tunnel and Cedar Creek Tunnel, which pierced the ridges to deliver water across the divide. Travelers on Skyline Drive passed landmarks such as North Tent Mtn and South Tent Mtn, following routes that connected isolated outposts like Becks Cabin to the larger canyon systems. The map captures a moment when traditional land use and systematic watershed development defined the character of the Wasatch Plateau.
