About this map

Hilliard Flat serves as a focal point for this 1960s survey of Uinta County, Wyoming, revealing an intricate network of irrigation vital to the high-desert landscape. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management, including the Bear Canal, Hilliard Canal, and Westside Canal, alongside smaller features like the Goodman-Cunnington Ditch. These waterways support the ranching activity clustered around the Hilliard Ward Ch and various local reservoirs like Martin Reservoir.

Tracing the Utah State Line at its western edge, the map illustrates the mid-century intersection of traditional agriculture and emerging industry. Scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit appear alongside older features such as the Sheep Trail. High points like Pine Knoll and Rocky Point provide natural landmarks for a region navigating between its frontier roots and the modern infrastructure of the 1970s revisions.
