2011 Map of Standardville

About this map

Standardville and the surrounding coal camps of Carbon County appear here in a landscape deeply defined by the extraction of natural resources. The industrial topography is marked by numerous operations such as Carbon Fuel Mine Number 2, Carbon Fuel Mine Number 3, and the Rolapp Mine near the Price River. These settlements follow the narrow corridors of the high desert, with Storrs and Peerless situated along the drainage of Spring Canyon. The map reveals the intricate transport network required to move coal from mountain seams to market, including Spring Canyon Rd and various spurs like Storrs Rd. From the high elevations of Ford Ridge down to North Fork Gordon Creek, the map provides a look at the spatial relationship between industrial outposts like Latuda and the terrain that both provided their wealth and dictated their layout.
