1968 Map of Fontenelle Reservoir SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Emigrant Trail and the Sublette Cutoff cross this landscape, marking the historic path of westward expansion through Lincoln County. The map captures a moment of transition where deep historical roots meet modern infrastructure, notably where the Fontenelle Reservoir was recently established along the Green River. Along the western bluffs, the Holden Cem remains as a silent marker of early settlers near Holden Hill. Drainage patterns like Fontenelle Creek and Pomeroy Draw define the terrain, while the inclusion of numerous pipelines and several gravel pits points to the area's mid-century industrial utility. Underwater contours provided by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation offer a rare look at the original riverbed submerged beneath the reservoir's normal pool elevation.
