2017 Map of Burnt Mill Spring

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this landscape in Duchesne County, where the Yellowstone River and Swift Creek carve through the high terrain. The map illustrates a sophisticated water management system integrated into the natural topography, featuring numerous impoundments such as the Yellowstone Power Diversion Reservoir, Timothy Cr Reservoir, and the Lower Burnt Mill Spring Reservoir. The area's geography is defined by significant transitions in elevation, from the heights of Flat Top Mtn down through Hells Canyon and Cow Canyon. Historical routes and modern access points are well-documented, including the Yellowstone Trail and Swift Creek Trail, which provide passage through the dense forest and around natural landmarks like Harmston Basin. Named springs and secluded lakes, such as McKune Lake and Water Lily Lake, highlight the vital water sources that have supported activity in this part of the Uinta Basin for generations.
