2014 Map of Olsen Reservoir

About this map

The settlement of Victor sits on the southern edge of the Carbon and Emery county line, an area defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and irrigation history. This 2014 survey documents the enduring presence of the Old Victor Cem, providing a crucial point of reference for genealogists tracing families in this part of the San Rafael Swell region. The landscape is dominated by erosional features such as Washboard Wash, Marsing Wash, and Desert Seep Wash, which channel water toward the Price River in the northeast. Human alteration of the arid terrain is evident in the Olsen Reservoir and the Desert Lake N Ditch, reflecting the long-standing efforts to manage water for agriculture and livestock. Notable topographic landmarks like Mounds Reef and Church Flats help define the varied elevation across this desert expanse.
