About this map

Bluebell and Upalco anchor this High Uinta Basin landscape, where irrigation and water management are the primary architects of the terrain. The northern half of the region is defined by a dense grid of local roads and canals, including the Bluebell Lateral and the South Lateral Lake Fork Canal, which channel water toward agricultural plots. To the west, the Big Sand Wash Reservoir and the substantial Big Sand Wash Dam serve as a major local landmark, providing both utility and recreation at the Big Sand Lake Campground.

The topographical character shifts as you move east and south, away from the cultivated fields of Bluebell. Here, the land is etched by natural drainages like Dry Gulch Creek and Water Hollow, while distinctive formations such as Butcher Knife and Pine Ridge rise above the basin floor. This map offers a clear view of the rural intersection of natural hydrology and man-made infrastructure, from the flowing Lake Fork River to the extensive reach of the Uteland Canal.
