About this map

Yellowstone River and Timothy Creek dominate this high-country landscape, where 21st-century water management infrastructure supports the region's ranching and recreational needs. The map documents a complex system of mountain water control, including the Yellowstone Power Diversion Dam, Water Lily Lake Dam, and the Timothy Creek Reservoir. These features, along with the Lower Burnt Mill Spring Reservoir, indicate the critical role of water storage in this part of Duchesne County.

Settlement is sparse but notable at the Yellowstone Ranch and Crystal Ranch, while the inclusion of the Yellowstone Corral speaks to the area's grazing history. Recreation is well-established along the river corridor, evidenced by a string of sites such as Swiftcreek Campground and Yellowstone Bridge Campground. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Flat Top Mountain down through named canyons like Crow Canyon and Hells Canyon, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous seasonal springs like Burnt Mill Spring.
