1967 Map of Bluewater

About this map

The Bluewater Fish Hatchery is a central focal point of this Carbon County landscape, situated at the confluence of several hydrologic features in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a high desert environment where water management is critical, shown through the network of the O'Connor Ditch and Orchard Ditch. These irrigation efforts, coupled with a series of wells such as Ruckavina Well No 2 (Flowing) and Ruckavina Well No 3, reveal the mid-century intersection of ranching and early petroleum or water exploration in the Bluewater Creek drainage.
