1968 Map of Walker Flat

About this map

The boundary between Sevier and Emery Counties cuts across this high-desert landscape, dominated by the broad expanse of Walker Flat and the eastern edge of the Fishlake National Forest. Mapping conducted in 1966 and updated in 1976 reveals a region defined by its drainage systems and mineral extraction. The south is anchored by the winding course of Ivie Creek, while the northeast is shaped by Quitchupah Creek and Christiansen Wash. Natural springs like Gilson Spring and Oak Spring provide critical water points in the dissected terrain of Saleratus Benches. The map documents local industrial history through several resource sites, including the Dog Valley Mine, Browning Mine, and various Prospect points and Borrow Pits that supported the area's development. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating the remote reaches between Windy Peak and the sandstone washes.
