2014 Map of Steinaker Reservoir

About this map

Steinaker Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Uintah County survey, serving as a hub for an intricate network of water management features including the Steinaker Ditch, Highline Canal, and the Steinaker Service Canal. To the north, the boundary of the Ashley National Forest marks a transition into higher elevations where natural features like Ashley Spring and Merkley Spring emerge from the canyons. Industrial activity is evident on the eastern edge at the Stauffer Chemical Tailings Pond N, while a Coal Mine sits in the southwest within the Coal Mine Basin. The presence of the Drive Through the Ages Geological Area along Us-191 highlights the unique stratigraphy of this region, providing a modern layer to the historical land use patterns defined by ranching and mineral extraction.
