About this map

Eightmile Flat dominates the northern portion of this landscape in Uintah County, illustrating the arid expanse of eastern Utah during the early twenty-first century. This territory is defined by a series of isolated topographic high points and vital water-collection features necessary for land management in such a dry climate. Prominent landmarks such as Crow Knoll, Sheep Knolls, and the Antelope Knolls rise above the surrounding terrain, while the southern reaches transition into the Little Desert.

Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by a network of drainage washes and small reservoirs. The map records several catchment points, including Coleman Reservoir, Kilroy Reservoir, and Sheep Reservoir, which likely serve local livestock or wildlife. These man-made features are connected by seasonal drainages like Sheep Wash, Petes Wash, and Fourmile Wash, while the presence of Desert Spring indicates the rare natural water sources that have historically drawn people and animals to this corner of the state.
