1968 Map of Eden Reservoir West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Emigrant Trail cuts a historic path through this high desert terrain, marking a corridor of travel that predates the modern infrastructure of the Eden Valley. This landscape is defined by the complex irrigation network supporting life in Sweetwater County, featuring the Big Sandy Dam and an extensive system of waterways including the Means Canal, West Side Lateral, and Little Sandy Canal. These channels divert water from the Big Sandy River to sustain the region between Big Sandy Reservoir and Eden Reservoir. Significant topographical markers like Haystack Butte rise above Sublette Flat, providing navigational points for those traveling along the Sublette Cutoff or the Old Luman Road. Evidence of local industry and development is visible through numerous Borrow Pits and a remote Landing Strip, while the Lincoln Sweetwater Road serves as a primary artery through the southern portion of the survey.
