1971 Map of Crater Bench Reservoir

About this map

Old River Bed winds through this arid expanse of Juab County, marking a prominent geological feature in a landscape defined by seasonal water and desert terrain. The area is anchored by the Crater Bench and the prominent Desert Mountain in the northeast, where a Jeep Trail navigates the slopes. This 1971 survey illustrates a sparse hydraulic network comprising the River Bed Reservoir and the Crater Bench Reservoir, alongside drainage systems like Cherry Creek and a standard Wash. Significant Mud Flats and a large Depression in the central-south portion of the map reveal the alkaline nature of the basin. Local infrastructure is minimal, represented by the Desert Mountain Well (4638), reflecting the region's historical use for range and livestock rather than permanent settlement.
