1988 Map of Topaz Mountain East

About this map

Topaz Mountain anchors the high ground of the Thomas Range in this late-century survey of the Utah desert. The landscape is defined by its geological and mining potential, evidenced by numerous excavations labeled simply as Prospect or Prospects scattered throughout the foothills. The terrain transitions from the jagged peaks of Starvation Canyon and Picture Rock into the broad, arid basins of Topaz Valley and Little Valley. This area, managed by the Juab Co jurisdiction, reflects a wilderness characterized by seasonal water drainage like Rock Wash and the isolated Dead Horse Tank. North of Antelope Ridge, the Pismire Knolls provide distinct landmarks for navigators and mineral hunters tracing the geological seams of this mineral-rich corridor.
