1981 Map of Tibbet Bench

About this map

High plateau landscapes and deep drainage systems define this 1981 survey of Kane County. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevated platforms, including John Henry Bench, Tibbet Bench, and Nipple Bench, which overlook the complex network of Wesses Canyon and Tibbet Canyon. Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid environment, with several identified springs such as John Henry Spring, Clints Spring, and Tibbet Spring providing critical reference points for the region. The southeastern portion of the map transitions into the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where the topography descends toward Warm Creek and Baldwin Hollow. A single Mine located near Smoky Mountain suggests localized resource extraction amidst the vast natural landforms of the Colorado Plateau.
