About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Uinta County, where the topography is defined by the prominent central spine of Buck Fever Ridge and the peak of Thunderbolt Mountain. This 1960s-era survey reveals an environment primarily used for ranching and water management, evidenced by the scattered network of irrigation infrastructure like Botero Ditch, Murray Ditch, and Graham Reservoir No 1.

Remote outposts such as the Perry Ranch sit along the West Fork Smiths Fork, while lower meadows like Lambs Meadow and Cowboy Cabin Park suggest seasonal grazing and recreational use. The map also documents essential hydrological monitoring with multiple Gaging Sta locations along the forks of the Smiths and Jacks Creeks, alongside small-scale resource extraction at a Gravel Pit. Significant local landmarks include Rocky Springs and the convergence of several high-mountain drainages that flow north toward the Wyoming interior.
