2014 Map of Murphy Ridge

About this map

Murphy Ridge dominates the center of this Wyoming-Utah borderland, where the high-plains geography is defined by a complex network of canyons and reservoirs. The landscape of Uinta County is marked by its vital water sources, including the Bear River and Chesney Reservoir, which support the high-desert environment. In the eastern portion of the map, the settlement of Almy sits along the river valley, north of the expanding footprint of Evanston. This map provides a look at the modern transport and aviation infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Evanston-Uinta County Airport - Burns Field and a series of county roads like Wasatch Rd and WY-89. For those interested in local history, the Almy Cem and named geographic features like Sims Canyon and Bartlett Hollow offer specific points of reference for tracing the development of this border region.
