About this map

Buckeye Reservoir serves as a central focal point for this landscape along the Colorado-Utah border, held by the Buckeye Number 1 Dam. The surrounding terrain is defined by its industrial activity and high-elevation features, including the notable Sinbad Ridge and the broad expanse of Pine Flat. A network of Forest Service roads, such as Geyser Pass Rd and Buckeye Rd, connects the high country and provides access to several extractive sites.

Resource extraction is a prominent theme here, with the Jackpot Mine and Valley View Mine appearing alongside the Gateway Mine and the Mitchells Coal Mine further south. The map documents a landscape where recreation at the Buckeye Campground exists in close proximity to active or historical mining operations. Numerous watercourses, including Mellenthin Creek and Roc Creek, drain this dissected plateau, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.
