2023 Map of Olsen Reservoir

About this map

Victor remains the primary landmark on this high-desert plateau, centered south of the Carbon and Emery County line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Marsing Wash, Mathis Wash, and Desert Seep Wash, which carve through the arid terrain toward the Price River. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Victor Cem just west of the main settlement area, while the presence of Church Flats and Olsen Reservoir suggests historical patterns of community gathering and water management in this dry region. To the north, the geology becomes more pronounced at Mounds Reef, where the Price River and W Price River cut through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, tracing the natural transport corridors that have shaped this portion of Emery County for generations.
