1966 Map of Firehole Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the transformative impact of water management on the Green River canyon system. The map documents a geography in transition, where the rising waters of the reservoir began to fill deep cuts such as Firehole Canyon and Middle Firehole Canyon. Along the river’s original course, numerous alluvial flats like Scott Bottom, Whalen Bottom, and Cordwood Bottom are clearly delineated, representing the low-lying areas most affected by the new water levels.
