1953 Map of Seminoe Dam SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Seminoe Reservoir dominates this landscape, reflecting a mid-century period when water management transformed the high plains of Carbon County. The intricate shoreline of the reservoir, with a spillway elevation of 6358 feet, surrounds the rugged finger-like peninsulas of Seminoe State Park. To the north and east, the transition from water to ranching land is marked by established family operations including McNees Ranch and Tennant Ranch, situated near the drainages of Beaver Creek and McNees Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip near the northern shore suggests the remote nature of these ranching outposts in the early 1950s. The dramatic uplift of Horseshoe Ridge serves as a prominent geologic spine, bisecting the quadrangle and directing seasonal runoff into the massive reservoir below.
