1964 Map of Reed Reservoir

About this map

Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries carve through the high plains of Uinta County in this detailed mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by an extensive water management system essential for high-altitude ranching, featuring numerous small catchments like Whisky Reservoir, Clematis Reservoir, and Reed Reservoir. The rugged drainage patterns of Crooked Canyon and Dry Wash are contrasted by the prominent elevation of Sage Creek Mountain and the broad expanse of Cottonwood Bench. Human activity is marked by the presence of a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary and a network of unimproved routes, including the Cedar Mountain Road and various Jeep Trails, which provided vital access for land use in this open Wyoming terrain before modern development intensified.
