About this map

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the waters of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir meet the rugged terrain of Lucerne Valley. The convergence of Henrys Fork and Cottonwood Creek defines the local hydrology, feeding into Linwood Bay. This 1987 provisional survey illustrates a transition from natural watercourses to managed irrigation, evidenced by the presence of the Peoples Canal and Sheep Creek Canal. Significant landforms like Twin Buttes and the namesake Linwood Canyon provide clear markers for navigating the high desert environment. Small-scale industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the river, while a Gaging Station monitors the flow of the Henrys Fork before it joins the reservoir.
