1996 Map of Linwood Canyon

About this map

Henrys Fork snakes through this high-altitude landscape on its way toward the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, marking a transition from the open northern draws to the protected lands of the Ashley National Forest. By the mid-1990s, the irrigation infrastructure supporting the Lucerne Valley was well-defined, with the Peoples Canal and Sheep Creek Canal diverting water to sustain local agriculture. The topography is dominated by the prominent Twin Buttes and the deep incision of Linwood Canyon, showcasing the dramatic elevation changes that characterize this corner of Sweetwater County. Within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, features like Linwood Bay highlight the area's development for public recreation alongside technical installations like the Gaging Station and power Substation.
