2017 Map of Pine Knoll

About this map

Hilliard Flat and the surrounding high plains of Uinta County are defined by a complex network of man-made water management systems. Long irrigation channels such as the Hilliard Westside Canal, Hilliard E Fork Canal, and Bear Canal snake across the landscape to feed isolated basins like Martin Reservoir and Massae Reservoir. This intricate hydraulic infrastructure reflects the region's historical dependence on redirected water to support ranching and agriculture in an arid environment. Beyond the flats, the terrain rises toward landmarks like Pine Knoll and Rocky Point, while the presence of the Blacks Fork Sheep Trl indicates the area's legacy as a corridor for livestock movement. The map also reveals numerous intermittent drainages like Sulphur Cr and LaChapelle Cr, which intersect with a grid of county roads that provide access to this remote portion of southwestern Wyoming.
