1971 Map of Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The settlement of Vernon sits at the northern edge of Rush Valley, serving as a central point in a landscape defined by high-altitude ranching and forest management in the early 1970s. The map highlights the transition from the valley floor to the Vernon Hills and the slopes of the Onaqui Mountains. A notable point of historical interest is the Chief Green Jacket Grave located near Bennion Creek in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Extensive land use patterns are evident through the Benmore Experimental Pastures and the Benmore (Site), suggesting a shift from former habitations to agricultural research and livestock management within the Wasatch National Forest. Water sources like Vernon Creek and Dutch Creek are critical features in this arid environment, alongside the Vernon Airstrip and Vernon Cem.
