2011 Map of Steinaker Reservoir

About this map

The Dry Fork Canyon Indian Petroglyphs anchor the cultural landscape of this high-desert region, situated near the McConkie Ranch where the terrain transitions toward the dramatic Ashley Gorge. This 2011 survey details a complex irrigation and water management network essential to Uintah County, centered on the Steinaker Reservoir and its supporting infrastructure. Water distribution is traced through the Steinaker Feeder Canal, Steinaker Service Canal, and the Steinaker Ditch, illustrating how the arid valley floor is managed below Red Mountain. The map also captures several natural water sources such as Single Trough Spring and Snider Spring, alongside recreational and agricultural landmarks like the Steinaker Campground and the Spring Creek Corral, providing a clear view of how public land use and private ranching coexist.
