About this map

Holden Cem sits atop the high ground overlooking the confluence where Fontenelle Cr meets the upper reaches of the Fontenelle Reservoir. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a landscape defined by water management and high-desert topography in Lincoln County. The southern expanse of the reservoir is anchored by the Fontenelle Dam, a significant piece of local infrastructure that transformed the natural flow of the Green River valley.

Away from the water, the terrain is marked by distinct geological features such as Holden Hill and Pomeroy Draw. A network of ranch and service roads, including Diamond H Rd and Fontenelle Creek Rd, provides access across the townships of T24N and T25N. Smaller drainages like Sheep Cr and Jackson Cr carve through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds into the larger reservoir system.
