2014 Map of Steamboat Point

About this map

Giles stands as a focal point along the Fremont River in this arid landscape of central Utah. This map documents a region characterized by dramatic elevation changes and a network of ephemeral watercourses including Town Wash, Birch Cr, and Coaly Wash. For local historians and genealogists, the presence of the Blue Valley Cemetery provides a specific point of reference within Blue Valley, south of the distinctive Skyline Rim. The terrain is marked by significant formations such as Steamboat Point and the Blue Valley Benches, while smaller features like Bert Avery Seep hint at the scarce water sources that once sustained settlers in this high-desert environment. Roadways like N Highway 24 and Giles Rd indicate the primary corridors of travel through the rugged Factory Bench and South Pinto Hills areas.
