1965 Map of Piedmont Reservoir

About this map

The historic Union Pacific railroad corridor cuts through this corner of Uinta County, following the drainage of Antelope Creek toward the small settlement of Piedmont. This landscape is a nexus of early Western transit, where the tracks parallel the legendary Emigrant Trail, visible here as it winds through Grassy Draw and Emigrant Hollow. The high desert terrain is defined by a network of seasonal water management features, including the eponymous Piedmont Reservoir, Guild Reservoir, and the curiously named Thirtythree Pond.
