1958 Map of Pierce Reservoir

About this map

Diamond Ranch and a network of family-held properties define this high-plains landscape along the border of Carbon and Albany counties during the late 1950s. The map reveals an economy built on water management and energy extraction, with features like the Bosler No 3 Canal and John White Enlargement Ditch feeding into the arid terrain. Near the center, Pierce Reservoir and Little Pierce Reservoir serve as vital catchments in an area otherwise marked by ephemeral drainage and rugged hills like Diamond Dome.
