About this map

Diamond Ridge dominates this 1991 survey of Grand County, Utah, where a complex network of high-desert drainages defines the local geography. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the area, featuring Willow Creek and the East Fork Little Creek, which carve through the high plateaus. These watercourses are flanked by numerous named canyons, including Tepee Canyon, Cherry Canyon, and Spruce Canyon, illustrating the erosional character of the landscape during the late twentieth century.

Industrial activity is noted by a solitary Drill Hole near Cottonwood Canyon, hinting at mineral exploration in an otherwise sparsely populated region. Prominent landmarks such as Cottonwood Point and Right Hand Bull Canyon provide orientation for those navigating this canyon-rich environment. This provisional edition also records section lines and township boundaries, such as the transition between T 18 S and T 19 S, which were essential for land management and resource claims in the eastern Utah desert.
