1991 Map of Valley City

About this map

Valley City (Site) sits at the northern edge of this arid landscape, a historic location defined by its reliance on the Valley City Reservoir. The map documents a territory shaped by resource extraction and water management, with numerous infrastructure markers such as Check Dams, Queens Well, and a Radio Tower scattered across the high desert. Industrial history is evident in the presence of several Prospect sites, a Quarry, and a Mine Shaft, indicating the persistent search for mineral wealth within the Salt Valley and the surrounding Blue Hills. To the south, Canyonlands Field serves as a modern aviation landmark, while natural features like Crystal Spring and the Tenmile Wash Reservoir highlight the critical role of water sources in this environment. Numerous 4wd tracks and transmission lines crisscross the terrain, reflecting the connectivity required for mining and utility operations during the early 1990s.
