1964 Map of Soap Holes Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Cedar Mountain and the high desert expanse of Big Hollow dominate this landscape along the border of Uinta and Sweetwater Counties during the mid-1960s. The region is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including many numbered reservoirs such as Seismograph Reservoir No 2 and High Mesa Reservoir No 2. These scattered catchments, along with named sites like Hordeum Reservoir and Soap Holes Reservoir, point to the critical role of water storage in supporting ranching or resource extraction in this arid terrain. Industrial activity is evident at the Standard Pit and East Fork Pit No 3, which sit amidst the high plateaus and drainage systems of Dry Creek and Big Hollow Creek. The presence of numerous jeep trails and the Cedar Rim Mountain road system illustrates how these high-elevation benches were navigated before more modern infrastructure arrived.
