1964 Map of Pelican Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pelican Lake sits at the center of this high-desert landscape in Uintah County, serving as a focal point for water management in a region defined by its rivers and irrigation networks. The confluence area of the Duchesne River and the Green River in the south provides vital habitat within the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge, where infrastructure like the Refuge Headquarters and various pumping stations are established. The map reveals the complexity of local water rights and historical land divisions, traced by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the Ouray Valley Canal. Small pockets of settlement such as Leota and Echleson appear alongside evidence of the region’s agricultural and industrial efforts, including the Wissiup Ditch and scattered gas wells. This 1964 survey captures the intersection of natural riparian corridors and the engineered landscape of Ouray Park.
