1962 Map of Strawberry Pinnacles

About this map

The Strawberry River carves through the southern landscape of this Duchesne County region, flanked by the dramatic rock formations of the Strawberry Pinnacles. To the north, the terrain rises toward Cedar Mountain, a high plateau characterized by a network of drainage features like Rabbit Gulch and Hoodoo Canyon. The map reveals a remote landscape where utility and resource extraction intersect, evidenced by a long telephone line corridor crossing the central basins and scattered extraction points simply labeled Mines and Mine tucked into the canyons near Bowen Canyon. The presence of numerous jeep trails and springs indicates a land primarily used for grazing and exploration in the early 1960s, while the fine red dashed lines denote established fence lines across the high country.
