About this map

The high plains of Uinta County are defined here by a network of seasonal drainages and local water management systems, centered around the settlement of Piedmont. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, featuring Piedmont Reservoir and Little Piedmont Reservoir, which capture the flow of Piedmont Cr. The landscape is etched with numerous named draws and ridges, such as Moslander Ridge and Guild Hollow, reflecting a history of land use tied to livestock and local movement across the basin.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Guild Cem near Muddy Cr, a significant marker of the area's early residents. The map's road network, including Co RD 171 and Altamont RD, connects these scattered water sources and topographical landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and Soda Hollow, providing a clear record of the modern infrastructure overlaid upon the traditional pathways of the Wyoming high country.
