1965 Map of Millis

About this map

The Emigrant Trail cuts across this high-elevation landscape in Uinta County, following the natural path of Coyote Creek toward the Bear River valley. This 1965 survey records a terrain defined by complex drainages and historic passage, where the Stagecoach Road and Old City Ditch Road parallel older pioneer routes. The northeastern corner of the map shows the transition into the river bottoms, marked by the Bear River and local infrastructure such as the Evanston Pumping Sta. Numerous family-named hollows, including Glasscock Hollow, Knight Hollow, and Burton Hollow, offer clues to early land use and settlement patterns in this Wyoming backcountry. Modern utilities appear alongside historical features, with Aqueduct and Pipelines traversing the ridges near Rocky Hollow and Dry Hollow.
