2017 Map of Austin Reservoir

About this map

Elkhurst sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Uinta County, where the terrain is defined by dry washes and intermittent water sources. The Austin Reservoir and the drainage of Austin Wash form a central focal point for the region's ranching and land management. Distinctive geological markers like The Pinnacle and The Nipple rise above the surrounding flats, serving as natural landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. These features, along with Powers Stock Reservoir, illustrate the critical importance of water infrastructure in this arid part of Wyoming. The network of local routes, including Magpie Rd and Eagle Ln, provides access across the township and range lines that divide the territory into a grid of livestock grazing lands.
