1965 Map of Wilkin Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Wilkin Ridge defines the high ground of this Duchesne County landscape, which transitions from high, forested plateau in the southwest to a network of eroded canyons and dry washes in the northeast. The topography is meticulously detailed through photogrammetric methods from 1959 aerial photography and 1965 field checks, capturing a wilderness era before significant industrial development. Settlement is absent here, replaced by a sparse network of infrastructure including a Pipeline and intermittent resource markers like Drill Hole 5883. Named water sources such as White Mule Spring and Desert Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment, while the presence of a Jeep Trail and other unnamed tracks suggests the area's use for grazing or exploration. Notable landmarks like Horner Knoll and Twin Knolls serve as primary navigational points across the dissected terrain of Big Wash and Petes Wash.
