1958 Map of Pierce Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Diamond Dome Gas Field and a network of high-plains ranches define this landscape along the boundary of Carbon and Albany counties. Surveyed in the late 1950s with early 1980s updates, the map reveals an environment deeply shaped by water management and energy extraction. A complex system of irrigation, including the Bosler No 3 Ditch, Big Heart Ditch, and Whites Rock Creek Ditch, cuts across the terrain to support livestock operations like the Double K Ranch and Diamond Ranch. The central Pierce Reservoir and its smaller counterpart, Little Pierce Reservoir, serve as vital landmarks in this arid region. Evidence of local infrastructure is clear through the Double K Ranch Airstrip and numerous oil wells, while the passage of Rock Creek and Coalbank Creek provides the natural drainage that dictated the placement of early settlements and ranch houses.
