1972 Map of Whirlwind Valley NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Swasey Mountain dominates the southwestern corner of this West Central Utah landscape, its high ridges giving way to the expansive alluvial flats of Whirlwind Valley. This 1972 field-checked survey reveals an arid environment defined by seasonal water management and drainage patterns. The ephemeral Swasey Wash cuts through the valley floor, connecting a series of livestock or irrigation improvements including Swasey Res No 2 and Swasey Res No 3. To the north, the terrain transitions into Swasey Bottom, while the isolated volcanic or rocky prominence of Black Point stands as a distinct landmark in the northeast. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system divisions and the sparsely developed infrastructure characteristic of this high desert region during the early 1970s.
