About this map

Wattis and its surrounding coal-rich landscape are the focus of this revised 2001 survey, which captures the industrial footprint in the eastern canyons of Gentry Mountain. The map detail highlights the resource extraction and infrastructure at the Star Point Mine and Plateau Mine, set against the backdrop of the Manti La Sal National Forest. Steep ridges and narrow canyons, including Lone Pine Tree Ridge and Hoag Ridge, dictate the layout of access roads and drill holes throughout this portion of Carbon and Emery counties.

Water sources like Serviceberry Creek and Right Fork Miller Creek drain the high plateau, while features like The Steeps and Wiregrass Bench illustrate the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of the region. The map tracks the Hiawatha Corporate Boundary and the division between the Price District Ranger and surrounding forest lands, providing a clear record of land management and mining activity at the start of the 21st century.
