1964 Map of Austin Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Elkhurst and the surrounding high plains of Uinta County are defined by a network of water management and transportation infrastructure in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is dominated by the Austin Reservoir, which captures flow from the surrounding watershed, and the extensive Austin Canal system that cuts across the terrain to support local agriculture and livestock. In the northwest, the Union Pacific railroad tracks follow the course of Muddy Creek, a corridor that has historically linked this portion of Wyoming to broader western commerce. Natural landmarks such as The Pinnacle and The Nipple rise above the drainage of the Wash, providing distinctive navigation points in a region also marked by modern pipelines. The map documents a period when rural industrial infrastructure began to overlay the traditional ranching landscape, visible in the spillway elevations and canal paths that divert water through the arid basin.
