1953 Map of Spanish Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Ferris Mountains rise sharply in the southern portion of this mid-century survey, a stark contrast to the sprawling Arkansas Flat that dominates the central terrain. This landscape in Carbon County reflects a remote ranching and mining environment, where water sources like Rush Creek and numerous springs were essential for survival. A single named residence, Jimmys Place, sits at the edge of the mountains, while the namesake Spanish Mine (Inactive) and drainage features like Miners Canyon and Pole Canyon point to the area's prospecting history. The map captures an era of isolated high-desert activity where small-scale irrigation is hinted at by ditches connecting to Arkansas Creek and East Creek.
