1971 Map of Warm Spring Hills

About this map

Warm Spring Hills define this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where essential water sources dictated the patterns of ranching and movement. The map highlights the central importance of drainage systems like Muddy Creek and Dove Creek, which provide the primary geographic framework for the area. Isolated outposts such as Muddy Ranch appear alongside various watering holes, including Warm Spring, Rhus Spring, and Seep Spring, each vital for livestock in this arid environment. A network of Jeep Trails snakes through the topography, connecting these springs and providing access to several Gravel Pits and a Corral. The intricate detail of the seasonal Birch Cr and Little Birch Cr systems illustrates how the natural topography influenced early 1970s land use and infrastructure in this part of northwestern Utah.
