1968 Map of Walker Flat

About this map

Walker Flat and the high desert plateaus of the Fishlake National Forest define this landscape along the border of Sevier and Emery counties. The map captures a significant infrastructure moment in the late 1960s, showing a new two-lane road Under Construction slicing through the terrain near Ivie Creek. This alignment follows a rugged network of existing Jeep Trails that provided access to the region's scattered industrial outposts, including the Dog Valley Mine and Browning Mine. The topography is characterized by dramatic elevations like Windy Peak and carved watercourses such as Christiansen Wash and Saleratus Creek. In the lower reaches of Dog Valley, several Mine and Prospect labels indicate the persistent search for mineral wealth in the canyon lands.
