1991 Map of Neponset Reservoir NE

About this map

The Bear River winds through the high desert of the Utah and Wyoming border, defining a landscape shaped by water management and ranching. This 1991 revision, based on aerial photographs from the mid-1960s and 1980s, shows the scale of the Woodruff Narrows Reservoir and the smaller Neponset Reservoir to the south. The diversion of water is evident in the prominent Chapman Canal and various ditches that support the arid region's agricultural needs. Near the base of Murphy Ridge, the Wyoming Downs complex stands out as a focal point of development alongside a Trailer Park. Significant terrain features like Whitney Canyon Creek and Christensen Hollow break the plateau to the east, while the presence of an Oil Well and multiple gravel pits points to the local industrial extraction economy.
