1967 Map of Crouse Reservoir

About this map

Crouse Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Daggett and Uintah counties. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a remote pastoral and watershed area defined by drainage networks like Pot Creek and Crouse Creek. The terrain is steeply contoured, rising toward the prominent heights of Hoy Mtn in the east. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by water management features and a limited network of paths, including Mail Draw and a primitive Jeep Trail. To the south, the deep incision of Diamond Gulch cuts through the topography, illustrating the erosive power of the seasonal runoff that shapes this corner of Utah. This map is particularly useful for understanding the hydrologic engineering and accessibility of the region before modern developments.
