1972 Map of Mud Lake Reservoir

About this map

Snake Valley dominates this 1970s landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in this arid stretch of Juab County. The infrastructure for irrigation and transit is clearly marked, featuring a prominent Aqueduct system and the Mud Lake Reservoir. These features, alongside the Weiss Highway, reflect the mid-century development and modification of the basin floor. Historically significant transit routes traverse the area, most notably the Pony Express Road in the northeastern corner, which follows a legacy corridor dating back to the mid-19th century. Seasonal drainages such as Toms Creek, Indian Farm Creek, and Red Cedar Creek descend from higher elevations toward the valley floor, while numerous Jeep Trails provide access to the more isolated sections of the basin.
