About this map

Williams Park and the settlement of Dunckley sit at the center of this high-country landscape, where ranching and water management define the terrain. The map documents an intricate network of irrigation and storage, featuring the James Marion Yoast Reservoir, Yoast Reservoir Number 1, and the W Side Highland Ditch. These systems, along with the Williams Park Ditch, illustrate the historical effort to harness runoff from the surrounding Williams Fork Mountains for high-altitude grazing and agriculture.

To the south, the Routt National Forest boundary encompasses diverse hydrologic features such as Lily Pond and the Sellers Crowell Reservoir. This 2019 survey also traces the winding courses of Fish Creek Canyon and Hubberson Gulch, providing a clear view of the region's drainage patterns. The presence of several named family reservoirs suggests a legacy of homesteading and private land use within the broader public forest lands.
