1967 Map of Crouse Reservoir

About this map

The high plateau and canyon country of the Utah-Colorado borderland are defined here by complex hydrological management and traditional land use. In this 1960s landscape, Crouse Reservoir stands as the central landmark, fed and drained by a network of seasonal watercourses and man-made interventions, including a notable Ditch system and the winding Pot Creek. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, transitioning from the heights of Hoy Mtn down through the carved drainage of Diamond Gulch. Evidence of ranching or agricultural infrastructure is sparse but present, such as a lone storage bin near the reservoir and various unimproved paths like Mail Draw. The map captures the remote nature of the Uintah and Daggett County boundary before modern developments changed the character of these high-altitude watersheds.
