2017 Map of Reed Reservoir

About this map

Cottonwood Bench and the high desert terrain of southern Uinta County define this landscape, where a sophisticated network of small-scale water management features supports life in the arid basin. The map detail highlights numerous high-altitude basins and drainages, including Crooked Canyon and Dog Spring Wash, which channel seasonal runoff into essential catchments like Whisky Reservoir and Clematis Reservoir. The presence of these named reservoirs, alongside Sage Mountain Reservoir and Balsam Root Reservoir, reflects the area's historical reliance on livestock ranching and the careful control of local watersheds. Rugged transportation routes such as Cedar Mountain Rd and Reed Rd provide the primary access through this sparsely populated corner of Wyoming, while Sage Creek Mtn anchors the southern portion of the survey near the headwaters of Sage Cr.
