1971 Map of Desert Mtn Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Desert Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this Juab County landscape, rising sharply above the arid flats where water management shaped the local economy in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a network of seasonal hydrology and human adaptation, centered around the Desert Mtn Reservoir and the South Desert Mtn Res. These catchments, along with the drainage of Cherry Creek and a wide Wash, suggest the critical importance of water for livestock or mining operations in this high-desert environment. Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible through a noted Prospect and Well No 5. Connectivity across the sage and salt flats is maintained by a system of primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail and various older trails that skirt the edges of the Sand Dunes and the base of the mountains.
