2017 Map of Blair Basin

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the high country of the Uinta Mountains define the northern reaches of this Uintah County landscape. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic geographic depressions and elevated landforms, including Blair Basin and the expansive Diamond Mountain Plateau. Water resources are central to the geography here, with seasonal drainages such as Simons Cr and Cow Cr cutting through the slopes, while isolated reliable sources like Squaw Spring and Diamond Spring provided essential points of contact for early land use. This map records the intricate network of remote mountain transit, showing routes such as Davenport Draw Rd, Browns Park Rd, and Pot Creek Loop that navigate the ridges and coves. The presence of the Calder Ditch indicates the historical efforts to manage and divert water through this arid high-elevation environment.
