1986 Map of Spring Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The San Rafael River meanders across the northern portion of this quadrangle, carving a distinct path through the wide San Rafael Valley. This 1980s provisional study documents a landscape primarily defined by its drainage systems and natural formations, such as the prominent Red Reef in the southeast. While largely an expanse of open terrain, the map records signs of human presence through a network of 4wd tracks and a remote Landing Strip near the reef. Seasonal watercourses including Cottonwood Wash, Dugout Wash, and the namesake Spring Canyon intersect the topography, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Emery County backcountry during this era. The map’s focus on elevation and drainage detail provides a clear look at the physical environment before more modern developments or naming changes occurred.
