1966 Map of Rat Hole Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rat Hole Ridge and Atchee Ridge dominate this high-desert landscape along the border between Utah and Colorado in the mid-1960s. Located within the Tavaputs Plateau, the area is defined by a network of deep-cut drainage systems including Rat Hole Canyon, Weatherbee Canyon, and Brewster Canyon. The map reveals a sparsely settled region primarily utilized for cattle ranching, anchored by the Hill Cow Camp and several vital water sources like Lone Spring and Bitter Creek. A web of Jeep Trails provides the only access through the broken terrain, connecting remote points such as Dick Canyon and Fatty Canyon. These tracks follow the natural contours of the ridges, tracing the historical movement of livestock and early surveyors through this corner of Uintah County.
