1966 Map of Rat Hole Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Atchee Ridge and Rat Hole Ridge dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Utah and Colorado, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of steep drainages. The area's mid-century ranching and resource activity is evidenced by the presence of Cow Camp near the headwaters of Bitter Creek and an isolated Drill Hole in the western canyons. This 1966 survey, later updated in the 1980s, reveals a remote territory primarily navigated by a system of trails and jeep trails that follow the natural contours of the ridges and canyon floors. Notable named watercourses and topographic features like Lone Spring Ridge, Weatherbee Canyon, and Whiskey Creek illustrate a landscape where water and high ground dictated human movement and nomenclature in the eastern Uintah Basin region.
