1988 Map of Tomsich Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Tomsich Butte rises as a central landmark in this 1980s landscape of the San Rafael Swell, where the erosion of the Colorado Plateau has created a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The area is defined by massive geological formations like The Dike and the expansive The Big Ridge, separating distinct regions known locally as Hondu Country and Sinbad Country. Human activity in this desert environment is evidenced by several adits and a prospect, suggesting a history of mineral exploration common to this part of Emery County. Drainage is dominated by the winding path of Muddy Creek, which cuts through the southern reaches near The Pasture. Critical water sources for travelers and livestock are specifically noted at Secret Springs and Cistern Tanks, highlighting the essential landmarks of a dry and demanding territory.
