1964 Map of Burntfork

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Burntfork sits at the base of the Cedar Mountain plateau, where the convergence of Henrys Fork and Burnt Fork dictates the settlement pattern and agricultural infrastructure of the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the vital management of water, evidenced by a network of diversions including the Nielsen Ditch and the Cedar Basin Ditch, which channel resources from the surrounding highlands. This arid Uinta County environment features numerous isolated water sources like Nielsen Spring and Webb Spring, which were critical to ranching operations in the shadow of the Bald Range. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family-associated sites such as the Stewart Cem and another cemetery near the creek, along with early infrastructure like the Slide Reservoir and various reservoirs named for local settlers, including Behunin Reservoir and Hussman Reservoir.
