About this map

Tenmile Flat and its neighboring plateaus define this corner of Garfield County, captured during the mid-1960s. The landscape is characterized by high, flat benches separated by deep drainage networks such as Harris Wash and Cottonwood Wash. Transportation across this terrain is limited to rugged tracks like the Old Sheffield Road Jeep Trail, which winds past Little Spencer Flat and Big Spencer Flats.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is sparse but specific, including the Mamie 6379 Borrow Pit and a Radio Facility located near the northern edge. Significant topographic features like Deadman Ridge and Halfway Hollow provide a detailed look at the erosional patterns of the region. This 1964 field-checked survey offers researchers a precise view of the arid Utah backcountry before modern land management designations changed the character of the area.
