About this map

Manila sits at the northern edge of this 1963 survey, serving as the gateway to the Lucerne Valley just south of the Wyoming-Utah border. The landscape is defined by the massive Flaming Gorge Reservoir, where the Green River winds through Kingfisher Canyon and past Beehive Point. Significant engineering of the era is evident in the network of irrigation features like Peoples Canal and the Canal system near Henrys Fork, which supported agriculture in this arid basin.

To the south, the topography rises sharply into the Ashley National Forest, a region marked by geological features such as Sheep Creek Gap and Dowd Mountain. This map documents a transitional period for the area as it became a recreational destination, featuring the Moenkopi Campground and Carmel Campground near Sheep Creek. Researchers will find a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of Daggett County, from remote Jeep Trails to the Guard Station and several gravel pits.
