About this map

Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this 1981 survey, where the Green River carves through the high plateau country of the Uinta Mountains. The map documents a region of intensive federal land management, showing the extensive reaches of the Ashley National Forest and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Small settlements like Manila, Dutch John, and Greendale serve as hubs in a terrain defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the Lucerne Valley to the heights of Mosby Mountain.

Tracing the complex water systems is central to this sheet, which includes numerous high-country lakes such as Spirit Lake and Marsh Lake, alongside man-made features like Steinaker Reservoir and the Matt Warner Reservoir. Local industrial history is noted through the Dyer Mine and Little Water Mine, while the Old Military Reservation Boundary provides a window into the historical administrative divisions of Daggett and Uintah counties.
