2021 Map of Eden Reservoir East

About this map

Eden Reservoir and the adjacent Eden Valley anchor this landscape in Sweetwater County, where complex irrigation systems define the high desert terrain. The map documents an intricate network of water management features, including the Eden Canal, Little Sandy Canal, and the Little Sandy Feeder Canal. These man-made diversions contrast with the natural meandering paths of Little Sandy Cr and Pacific Cr, illustrating the effort to cultivate and sustain this region. Historical transit is represented by the California - Mormon Rd, a significant corridor through the sagebrush. Centrally located, the modest rise of Round Top serves as a distinct navigational landmark amidst the grids of the Public Land Survey System, which includes portions of T26N and T25N. Smaller water features like Chambers Ditch and Hay Ditch further emphasize the historical reliance on water engineering for ranching and settlement.
