1950 Map of Blair Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Uinta Mountains ranching life and high-desert terrain define this mid-century survey of northeastern Utah. The map documents a dispersed network of family-owned homesteads and grazing operations, including the Carl Searle Ranch and McKeachnie Ranch, situated between the elevations of the Diamond Mountain Plateau and the floor of Diamond Valley. The landscape is etched by seasonal water sources like Diamond Gulch and Pot Creek, which were vital for sustaining livestock in this arid environment. Bordering the Ashley Nat Forest, the region shows a clear transition from protected timberland to the open range of Blair Basin. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of the Willis Ranch, Goodrich Ranch, and various springs provides a precise record of land use before modern consolidation and development altered the character of these Uintah County properties.
