About this map

The Bear River meanders in tight oxbows through the high desert landscape of Uinta County in this 2010 topographic record. To the north, the Woodruff Narrows Reservoir dominates the drainage basin, while the Neponset Reservoir sits at the southwestern corner, reflecting the region's critical water management infrastructure. Between these water bodies, the terrain is marked by distinctive geological features including Murphy Ridge and various named drainages like Shell Hollow, Stacey Hollow, and Murphy Hollow.

Evidence of ranching life is found at Highway Ranch and along a network of remote roads such as Home Ranch Rd and Munshaw Rd. The map also captures several ephemeral water features like Dry Lake and the winding course of Dry Creek, which contrast with the permanent flows of Whitney Canyon Creek and Fowkes Canyon Creek. For those studying the geography of the Wyoming-Utah border region, this survey provides a clear view of how land use and hydrology intersect in this corner of the state.
