Sue et al,

        Not certain what dates were used but both DeLorme's TOPO-2.0 and DeLorme's
Street Atlas-4.0 show an air-strip starting at N39° 46.540' W110° 19.588'
and ending at N39° 46.756' W110° 18.651' approximately.

        On both maps, there's a cabin identified as "Stone Cabin Gas Field" so,
perhaps the gas field has been closed and the strip abandoned such that the
latest survey simply doesn't show it.

        In any case, why is it called an "interplanetary airstrip"??

PS: There's another "Currant Canyon" in Kane County, Utah but no noticeable
airstrip there.
