1964 Map of Pariette Draw SW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a sharp diagonal across this arid landscape, marking a historical line of demarcation between the Uintah and Ouray Reservation lands and the surrounding public domain. This 1964 survey captures a moment of resource development within the high desert, where scattered Oil Wells, Prospects, and a Drill Hole point to subsurface exploration. The terrain is defined by deep erosion, with Pariette Draw and Pleasant Valley Wash draining the plateau into complex systems like Big Wash and Sheep Wash. Water management is evident in small, isolated catchments such as Billeys Res, Butte Reservoir, and Snyder Reservoir, which were essential for sustaining livestock across Eightmile Flat. This map is particularly valuable for its depiction of the early industrial footprint and the persistence of nineteenth-century boundary lines in the modern Uinta Basin.
