About this map

The Fremont River carves through a landscape of dramatic erosion and high plateaus in this 1980s Wayne County survey. The terrain is dominated by the massive formations of North Caineville Mesa and South Caineville Mesa, which frame the central drainage systems. The map captures the complex topography of the Upper Blue Hills, revealing how water has sculpted the earth into features like Blue Gate and the winding course of Sweetwater Creek.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated near the landmark at Town Point. This provisional edition provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the High Plateaus, including Upper Blue Creek and Oak Creek, as they descend from the heights of Oak Creek Ridge. The lack of dense development underscores the remote character of this region, where natural landmarks and water sources like Neilson Wash served as the primary orientation points for travelers and residents alike.
