1973 Map of The Cove

About this map

The Sublett Range and Stone Hills dominate this high-desert boundary between Idaho and Utah, where the terrain drops sharply into the expansive Curlew Valley. This landscape is defined by the transition from the steep, canyon-riven slopes of The Cove and Table Mtn to the managed landscapes of the Curlew National Grasslands. The map reveals a land utilized for its raw materials and utility, marked by a prominent Pipeline cutting across the southwestern flats and several industrial excavations including a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit. Drainage patterns like Cow Canyon and Dry Canyon illustrate the arid nature of this region during the 1970s, as a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access into the more difficult elevations of the range.
