1966 Map of Buckboard Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its waters filling the deep canyons of the Green River and the lower reaches of Buckboard Wash. This 1966 revision shows the area as the newly established Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, documenting the transformation of the river valley into a high-desert reservoir. While the waters reached into Lowe Canyon and Squaw Hollow, the map still traces the surviving upland landmarks like Black Mountain and the Haystack Buttes. On the southern edge, the Sheep Creek Irrigation Canal and Henrys Fork represent the agricultural utility of the region, contrasting with the recreational infrastructure of the Buckboard Crossing Boat Ramp. Local ranching history is anchored by the Brinegar Ranch, situated near the shoreline, while the west is marked by the distinct peaks of Twin Buttes and the colorful topography of Devils Playground.
