2021 Map of Fontenelle Reservoir SW

About this map

The Fontenelle Dam anchors the southeastern edge of this landscape, holding the southern reaches of the Fontenelle Reservoir. The terrain here is defined by a series of drainage systems and high points, most notably Holden Hill and the adjacent Holden Hollow to the north. A significant cultural landmark is found in the Holden Cem, situated on a ridge overlooking the bottomlands near Fontenelle Cr. This cemetery, along with the family-named features like Pomeroy Draw, points to the early ranching and homesteading history of the area before the modern reservoir altered the local hydrography. Improved surfaces such as Diamond H Rd and Fontenelle Creek Rd provide access through the complex topography of the high desert plateau, connecting various draws and seasonal creeks like Sheep Cr and Jackson Cr.
