About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, defined by a distinct Indian Treaty Boundary that separates the reservation lands from the Ashley National Forest. This high-altitude terrain in Uintah Co. is characterized by a dense network of water sources essential for livestock and local survival, ranging from Uranium Spring and Chicken Spring in the west to Deep Creek Spring in the east.

Resource extraction and early land management are visible through the presence of the Little Water Mines and various Gravel Pits scattered near the Little Water Hills. The topography transitions from the dramatic Chalk Cliffs and Sawtooth Ridge to more accessible areas like Bills Park. High-country features such as Gull Lake and the Mosby Sink illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of the Uinta Basin's fringe, where numerous trails and jeep tracks provide the only access through the timber and meadows of Mosby Mtn.
