About this map

Moslander Ridge and Mumford Ridge define the high country of Uinta County in this mid-1960s topographic study. The landscape is shaped by the complex drainage systems of West Muddy Creek, East Muddy Creek, and Van Tassel Creek, which navigate the steep terrain. Water management is a primary feature of the area, evidenced by the Moslander Reservoir, Vacher Reservoir, and the engineered Wash Supply Ditch.

Transhumance and ranching history are grounded in the presence of the Blacks Fork Sheep Trail, which snakes across the ridges and through Twomile Hollow. Small, localized landmarks such as Twentyone Grove and Twentyone Knoll provide specific points of reference in an area otherwise dominated by drainages like Drown Creek and Beaver Hollow. The map also captures the varied water sources vital to this high-elevation environment, including Cold Springs and several unnamed springs.
