About this map

Shearing Corral and the small settlement of Curvo serve as the primary human markers in this high-elevation landscape of Summit County. The area's water management is evident through a series of reservoirs and drainage systems, including Shearing Corral Reservoir, Suttons Reservoir, and the Ball and Moore Reservoir in the southeast. These man-made features are vital components in a terrain defined by seasonal waterways like Shearing Corral Creek and Crane Creek.

Geological landmarks provide significant orientation across the quadrangle, with Red Rock rising near the center and Lewis Canyon carving through the southern portion. The transportation corridor follows the path of Echo Creek, where local topography necessitated the construction of Tunnel Hollow. This landscape is a network of named drainages, from Tristram Creek to Slaughterhouse Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology that supported ranching and transit in this part of Utah during the early twenty-first century.
