About this map

The Almy coal mining district and the winding course of the Bear River dominate this landscape on the border of Utah and Wyoming. The map documents a cluster of industrial heritage sites, including the Almy Number Seven Mine, Almy Number Six Mine, and Almy Number Forty-one Mine, which speak to the area’s history of extraction. Nearby, the Almy Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians researching the families tied to these operations.

Water management is central to the terrain, with the Neponset Reservoir in the north and Crane Reservoir in the south feeding into Crane Creek. The eastern edge is defined by the braided channels of the river and the aviation facilities at Evanston- Uinta County Burns Field. From the heights of Murphy Ridge down through Sims Canyon and Bartlett Hollow, the map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns and rural road network, including Almy Road 105 and the small settlement at Wyuta.
