2011 Map of Lyman

About this map

The Lyman and Fremont communities are the focal points of this 2011 survey, illustrating the complex relationship between high-altitude settlement and water management in rural Utah. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation infrastructure, including the High Line Ditch and Fremont Loa Ditch, which redirect water from the Fremont River to sustain local agriculture. Higher elevations reveal numerous water sources like Bare Spot Spring and Saddle Pass Spring, while larger bodies such as Mill Meadow Reservoir and the high-mountain Blind Lake suggest a region shaped by both natural hydrology and engineered water storage. The road network, including Horse Valley Rd and various iterations of Horrock's Ln, traces the historical paths between ranches and reservoirs. Genealogists and local historians can use the precise placement of these ditches and rural lanes to locate family landholdings and understand the logistical layout of these communities in the early 21st century.
