Blacks Fork meanders through the high desert of Sweetwater County before emptying into the massive Flaming Gorge Reservoir. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern landscape of the Flaming Gorge Natl Rec Area, where the rising waters have reshaped the valley's original geography. At the southern end of the sheet, Buckboard Crossing serves as a key access point to the water, while the label The Confluence marks where the tributary system meets the main reservoir body. The terrain is defined by the namesake Halfway Hollow and the drainage of Currant Cr. A network of Forest Service and local tracks, including Lost Dog Rd and Buckboard Rd, provides access to these remote shores. The map reflects a landscape managed for recreation and water storage, capturing the exact shoreline and infrastructure of the early 21st century.
