1968 Map of Neponset Reservoir NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Bear River meanders across the state line in this late-1960s survey of the high desert borderlands between Rich County, Utah, and Uinta County, Wyoming. This arid landscape is defined by its complex irrigation infrastructure, showing how water was diverted through the Chapman Canal, Crompton Ditch, and the engineering of the Christensen Tunnel. Major water bodies including the Woodruff Narrows Reservoir and the Neponset Reservoir dominate the hydrology of the area, providing critical storage for local ranching and agricultural efforts. Intermittent drainages like Dry Creek and seasonal flows from Whitney Canyon Creek underscore the importance of the permanent Spring sites and man-made reservoirs. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks such as Acocks Can and Christensen Hollow, alongside several Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit operations that suggest local infrastructure development during this period.
