About this map

Ashley National Forest covers the high-elevation terrain of this 1967 survey, where a complex network of draws and creeks defines the drainage of the Uinta Mountains. The landscape is characterized by prominent erosional features like Jackson Draw, Davenport Draw, and Lambson Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the south. Near the base of the forest boundary, the Matt Warner Reservoir serves as a primary water management feature, with its spillway feeding into Pot Creek.

Evidence of human utility is sparse but specific, shown through a Pipeline cutting across the northwestern draws and a series of jeep trails. The mapping of the Daggett Co Uintah Co line across the northern sections provides a clear administrative boundary for researchers tracking land use and grazing rights. Numerous springs and wells, such as those near Jackson Creek and Kettle Creek, indicate the vital importance of water sources in this high-altitude environment during the mid-20th century.
