1965 Map of Hague Creek

About this map

Piedmont stands as the primary settlement in this 1960s Uinta County landscape, positioned near the Piedmont Cem and the Little Piedmont Reservoir. The terrain is defined by a complex network of draws and ridges, including Musselman Draw and Meyers Ridge, reflecting a high-altitude ranching environment. Historical passage is marked by the presence of the Emigrant Trail, which traverses the northern section of the map, while water management for the arid region is visible through features like the Bigelow Ditch and Pate Ditch. Significant landmarks such as Haystack Butte and Chapman Butte rise above the surrounding Bigelow Bench, framing the drainages of Muddy Creek and the Blacks Fork river system. This survey documents the intersection of pioneer-era transit routes and mid-century water infrastructure in the high Wyoming plains.
