2017 Map of Bluebell

About this map

Bluebell and Upalco anchor this High Uintahs basin landscape, where a sophisticated network of gravity-fed irrigation supports local agriculture. The map documents an intricate system of water management including the Bluebell Lateral, N Lateral Lake Fork Canal, and the Uteland Canal, all working in tandem with the Lake Fork River to transform the arid terrain. Centrally, the Big Sand Wash Reservoir serves as a critical hydrologic hub, while the surrounding geography is defined by prominent formations like Pine Ridge and Flat Top. For those researching local heritage, the Bluebell Cem and Upalco Cem provide primary points of reference for these rural communities. The eastern portion of the sheet transitions into more varied topography, featuring the curiously named Butcher Knife and the drainage of Dry Gulch Cr, illustrating the rugged break between the plateau and the cultivated valley floors.
