1969 Map of Olsen Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Victor (Site) settlement and its associated Old Victor Cem anchor the southwestern corner of this 1960s landscape, providing a clear reference for the vanished community along the Carbon and Emery county line. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainages including Marsing Wash, Washboard Wash, and Mathis Wash that cut through the Desert floor. This era shows a landscape managed for water and transport, dominated by the Olsen Reservoir and the heavy rail line of the Denver and Rio Grande Western following the curves of the Price River. In the east, the dramatic uplift of Mounds Reef and the open expanse of Church Flats contrast with the rugged, wash-cut plains. A web of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through this arid region, tracing the paths between Seep Wash and Church Wash.
