2012 Map of Pine Knoll

About this map

Hilliard Flat and the surrounding high plains of Uinta County are defined by an extensive network of water management features and seasonal drainages. The landscape is dotted with small-scale irrigation and livestock infrastructure, including Massae Reservoir, Martin Reservoir, and Austin Reservoir. These water sources are vital in this arid region, fed by a series of creeks such as Sulphur Cr and Willow Cr that cut through the terrain. Evidence of the area's agricultural and pastoral history is visible in the presence of the Blacks Fork Sheep Trl, which suggests long-standing livestock movement across the high desert. Prominent landforms like Pine Knoll and Rocky Point provide navigational landmarks in a territory otherwise marked by wide draws like Short Draw and Cook Draw.
