About this map

Meeks Cabin Reservoir and its associated dam serve as the central landmarks of this high-elevation mountain basin in Uinta County, located within the Evanston Ranger District. The map captures the interface between managed water resources and the protected wilderness of the Wasatch National Forest, where drainage systems like Blacks Fork and Horse Creek feed the reservoir's northern reach. Of particular interest to local historians is the Meeks Cabin (Historical Site), situated just north of the dam, preserving a trace of early mountain life.

The landscape is marked by functional improvements such as the Bigelow Ditch and a Pipeline, alongside recreational and educational facilities like the Uinta County Youth Camp. Routes like the Beaver Dam Hollow Trail and Little Oyers Lane provide access through the timbered terrain of Mumford Ridge and the Balsam Draw, illustrating the multi-use character of this Wyoming forest land at the end of the twentieth century.
