2011 Map of Flaming Gorge

About this map

Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates the landscape of this Sweetwater County borderlands area, where the high desert meets the deep canyons of the Green River system. The map documents the recreational and residential footprint surrounding the water, particularly at the Lucerne Valley Development and Lucerne Valley Marina. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Bare Top Mountain and the high overlooks that define the geological character of the region. The map highlights the contrast between developed access points like the Antelope Flat Campground and the remote, dissected topography of Buck Draw and Hideout Canyon. Land use here is a mix of managed forest land and water-based infrastructure, with landmarks like Red Canyon Overlook and Dowd Mountain Overlook Picnic Area providing vantage points over the massive reservoir.
