2020 Map of Crouse Reservoir

About this map

Crouse Reservoir and Zelph Calder Reservoir serve as the primary hydrologic anchors in this arid basin along the border of Uintah and Daggett counties. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and ranching access, where water moves through the Calder Ditch and feeds into Pot Cr. The high-elevation terrain of Hoy Mtn overlooks a network of namesake ranching routes, including Walker Ranch Rd, Cook Ranch Rd, and the O'Brien Ranch Loop. These roads, along with the Crouse Canyon Rd, follow the natural contours of deep drainage features like Mail Draw and Allen Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized system of backcountry transport and water infrastructure, essential for land use in this corner of Northeast Utah.
