About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation meets the southern boundary of the Ashley National Forest in this 1996 revision, showcasing a landscape defined by water management and high-altitude terrain. The Whiterocks River and Uinta River flow south from the mountains, feeding an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Uintah Canal and Duncan Ditch. These waterways represent the vital infrastructure supporting the region's agricultural and tribal lands.

Local history is preserved in the location of Reeds Cemetery and a second Cemetery near Red Knoll, while the small settlement at Elkhorn and the Loggers Cabin Park indicate centers of activity along the forest edge. Notable landmarks such as Ice Cave Peak and The Hole break the ridges of Mosby Mountain and Buck Ridge. The map identifies numerous natural water sources like Sulphur Spring and Snake John Spring, essential for the livestock and ranching operations implied by the Farm Creek Bridge and various gaging stations.
