About this map

Daniels Reservoir serves as the central focal point of this Oneida County landscape, managed by Daniels Dam along the Little Malad River. This 1968 field-checked survey illustrates a region defined by high mountain passes and deep drainages, including Sublette Canyon and Morgan Canyon. To the east, the boundary of the Caribou National Forest meets a network of vital transportation routes like the Old Sublette Road and Daniels Road.

Local history and land use are evidenced by a solitary Grave near Wright Hill and the infrastructure supporting the high-desert watershed. The map reveals the functional layout of the era, from the Gaging Station downstream of the reservoir to the Elkhorn Dam and several gravel extraction sites. This survey captures the transition between the managed waters of the reservoir and the higher, steeper elevations of Jensen Pass.
