About this map

Guild Hollow and the surrounding Uinta County ranchlands are defined by a complex network of intermittent water sources and drainage systems as they appeared in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Feltner serves as a focal point near the intersection of various natural draws, including Robinson Hollow and Duncomb Hollow. The map reveals a landscape managed for resource extraction and transport, marked by industrial features like Gravel Pit, a Mine, and prominent Pipelines cutting across the terrain.

Water is the vital element of this high-country environment, documented through numerous named sources such as Crompton Spring, Roadside Spring, and Thistle Hollow. For those tracing local history, the distribution of these springs and the presence of early telecommunications infrastructure, such as the Radio Towers, suggest a transition from purely agricultural use to more modern utility and industrial integration during the mid-century era.
