About this map

Juab Valley serves as a prominent geographic corridor on the eastern edge of the Great Basin, where water management defines the landscape. The northern portion of the sheet is marked by Chicken Creek Reservoir, while the southern end includes a segment of the Sevier Bridge Reservoir, highlighting the importance of irrigation and water storage in this arid environment. The terrain is divided between the alluvial floor of the valley and the surrounding uplands, including the Washboard Hills to the west and the prominent Skinner Peaks to the east.

Traces of local infrastructure and land use are evident in the presence of Old Botham Road and numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the valley floor. The eastern mountains fall within the Uinta National Forest, where steep drainages like Chriss Canyon and Flat Canyon cut through Cedar Ridge. This documentation reflects the area's mid-century topography with updates that capture modern reservoir levels and forest boundaries.
