1950 Map of Blair Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Carl Searle Ranch and the McKeachnie Ranch anchor a landscape defined by high-elevation ranching and rugged drainages on the edge of the Ashley Nat Forest. This mid-century survey illustrates a remote corner of Uintah County where the Uinta Mountains transition into the expansive Diamond Mountain Plateau. The geography is dictated by water sources like Diamond Spring and Squaw Spring, which supported the early 20th-century livestock operations scattered across Diamond Valley. The intricate network of seasonal waterways, including North Diamond Gulch and South Diamond Gulch, reveals the complex erosion patterns that shaped the terrain before major modern development. Local family names like Willis, Goodrich, and Freestone are preserved here, marking the specific homesteads that once formed the backbone of this high-country community.
