1965 Map of Wilkin Ridge

About this map

Wilkin Ridge dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Duchesne County through a series of named erosional features like Big Wash and Sheep Wash. The presence of a Pipeline and a Drill Hole signifies the industrial footprint of resource exploration during the post-war era. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the Little Desert, a stark contrast to the higher elevations marked by Horner Knoll and Twin Knolls. For those researching local travel routes, the map identifies established pathways such as the Fourmile Trail and various Jeep Trails, which provided essential access to remote water sources like White Mule Spring across this arid terrain.
