1961 Map of East Canyon Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Route of Mormon Pioneers and Donner-Reed Party traverses this mountain landscape, marking a historical corridor that shaped Western expansion. This 1961 survey, field-checked just as the modern reservoir was establishing its presence, highlights the profound overlap of frontier history and mid-century water management. At the heart of the terrain lies the East Canyon Reservoir, its waters controlled by a Spillway and monitored by a Gaging Station. Historical researchers will find significant landmarks along the old trails, including the Site of Dixie Hollow Pony Express Station and the isolated Grants Grave. The geography is defined by prominent peaks and canyons, such as Redrock Peak, Hogback Summit, and the depths of Bishops Canyon. Coves and hollows like Woodtick Hollow and Deer Fly Hollow provide a detailed look at the local nomenclature used by early settlers and surveyors.
