2015 Map of Reed Reservoir

About this map

Reed Reservoir and a series of high-altitude catchments define this arid landscape in Uinta County, where water management is central to the land's utility. The terrain transitions from the elevated Cottonwood Bench and Crooked Canyon in the north toward the heights of Sage Creek Mtn in the southeast. This 2015 survey reveals a specialized network of resource infrastructure, including Whisky Reservoir, Clematis Reservoir, and Balsam Root Reservoir, which collect runoff from intermittent drainages like Dry Wash and Dog Spring Wash. The presence of Cow Pit Number 3 near Cedar Mountain Rd indicates active land use beyond ranching, likely tied to local materials extraction. Transportation is limited to a few primary corridors like Reed Rd, illustrating the remote character of this region where life and industry follow the seasonal flow of Cottonwood Creek and Sage Creek.
