1966 Map of Seaverson Reservoir

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-country landscape in Carbon County, defining the hydrologic split of the region. In the mid-1960s, this area remained characterized by its rugged drainages and industrial potential, with mining activity evident at the Cherokee Mine No 2 and a scattered Prospect or Drill Hole. Water management is central to the terrain, anchored by the Seaverson Reservoir and various seasonal flows including Fillmore Creek and Bad Water Creek. These names, along with features like Coal Bank Gulch and Holler Draw, reflect a landscape shaped by both geological necessity and the practical needs of ranching or extraction. A singular Pipeline cuts across the sections, indicating the modern infrastructure beginning to overlay these older grazing and mineral lands.
