1968 Map of Big Pack Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates the western portion of this topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by federal and tribal land management in the late 1960s. This region of Uintah County is characterized by deep drainage systems and high plateaus, most notably the central ridge of Big Pack Mountain. The intersection of resource extraction and administrative boundaries is evident where the Naval Oil Shale Reserve No 2 overlaps with tribal lands. Water sources like Willow Creek and Johnson Creek cut through the arid terrain, which is marked by features like Horse Bench and Peter Post Canyon. Subtle evidence of industrial exploration appears in isolated labels for a Well and Drill Hole, suggesting early interest in the area's subterranean potential within the oil shale reserves.
