About this map

The Bear River meanders through a landscape defined by the intersection of Utah and Wyoming, where the high-plains geography of Murphy Ridge meets the agricultural and aviation developments of Uinta County. In the southeastern corner, the city of Evanston serves as a regional anchor, with the Evanston-Uinta County Airport - Burns Field situated on the elevated bench nearby. North along the river valley, the settlement of Almy and the Almy Cem mark a legacy of local habitation and industry.

Water management is central to this territory, evidenced by the Chapman Canal and a series of impoundments including Chesney Reservoir, Crane Reservoir, and Neponset Reservoir. The terrain is deeply inscribed with drainages like Yellow Cr and Crane Cr, which cut through canyons and hollows such as Bartlett Hollow and Thomas Canyon. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the region, from the remote reaches of Murphy Hollow to the established road networks of Almy Rd 107 and Wasatch Rd.
