1965 Map of Piedmont Reservoir

About this map

The Union Pacific corridor cuts through this high-country landscape in the 1960s, following the drainage of Pacific Creek northwest of the small settlement of Piedmont. This area serves as a critical water management zone for the region, characterized by a series of significant man-made impoundments including Piedmont Reservoir, Guild Reservoir, and Little Piedmont Reservoir. The presence of the Emigrant Trail cutting across the northern reaches provides a window into the historical movement of travelers across Uinta County before modern infrastructure took over.
