About this map

Ashley National Forest lands dominate this high-desert terrain during the mid-1990s, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and vital water sources. The map highlights the complex hydrologic network of the Jackson Draw and Davenport Draw systems, which channel seasonal runoff through the Uinta Basin's north-eastern reaches. A significant landmark in the southern section is the Matt Warner Reservoir, shown at a normal pool elevation of 7540 feet, serving as a critical irrigation and recreation point for the region.

Evidence of historical land use and transit is scattered across the topography, from the isolated Landing Strip near Davenport Creek to the various springs like Bullpen Spring and Serviceberry Spring that sustained livestock and wildlife. The map also delineates the boundary between the Flaming Gorge Ranger District and the Vernal Ranger District, reflecting the administrative management of this wilderness area near the Daggett and Uintah County line.
