Guess the spot: Maps Edition

[Udink]

'Nuther hint: it's on BLM land, just outside of a National Recreation Area. I'm sure a lot of people on the forum have driven through this area.

Above French Spring Fork of Happy...

Yep, on Twin Corral Flats (though I counted at least four corrals there).

 

[Ben]

^Twin Corral was the first thing I thought of, except I saw three in the photo. Should have looked any way.

from a 1917 quad...

 

[Udink]

I spy the Roan Cliffs and Book Cliffs, but cannot place that drainage! I'm guessing the name has changed since 1917. I'll keep trying to see if I can figure it out.

 

[Udink]

Okay, I'm gonna throw down a guess and say Westwater Creek?

 

[Brendan S]

pretty close...head a bit west of westwater creek. It's surprisingly difficult to place it even side by side with a current topo.

Ahh...Cottonwood/Diamond, then?

 

[Brendan S]

Yep, that's it. I'll try to post a pic of more of the map later....pretty interesting...

Okay, next "map"

Mars.

Mars.

Close. Top-right is a good clue.

 

[Nick]

That's Pennell in the top right.

Next up...

I had to remove a lot of text from this map.

 

[Nick]

The dotted line should be a good hint. Part of it is still used but part of it is not. In the center of the map, the road passes by a pass with an interesting name that ought to shed some light on things.

 

[Nick]

Maybe a sat layer will help?

 

[slc_dan]

aha! Found it. Took me a good few minutes, but mostly because I'd get sidetracked looking at other shit close by

On the left is Cottonwood Canyon. Great trail names there! Aladdin's Lamp Pass? Yes please! Is the Emmigrant 4wd Trail pretty gnarly? Are you looking at destroying the f150 again so soon?

 

[slc_dan]

I hope to spend a couple days hiking here in December.

Haha! That's more commonly just called the Hole-in-the-Rock Trail, but more specifically the one on the east side of the river. My brother in law keeps trying to get me to do it with him. The F150 would not be welcome there...
