1967 Map of Upton

About this map

Upton serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1960s-era topographical study, situated where the waters of Huff Creek meet the winding Chalk Creek. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Porcupine Ridge and the Porcupine Reservoir to the northeast, illustrating the region's managed water resources. A network of Jeep Trails and the Porcupine Trail crisscross the terrain, providing access to more remote areas through Josh Hollow and along Morby Creek. Evidence of local industry is captured by the inclusion of a Mine and a Gravel Pit near the main valley floor. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by the South Fork Chalk Creek and Fish Creek, where the map meticulously documents property boundaries with fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, a valuable detail for understanding local land division during this period.
