About this map

Steinaker Reservoir dominates the lower elevations of this high-desert landscape in Uintah County, serving as a critical water management hub for the surrounding arid terrain. The intricate network of human-made water systems, including the Steinaker Service Canal, Steinaker Ditch, and Ashley Upper Canal, illustrates the intensive irrigation efforts required to support agriculture and settlement in the eastern Uinta Basin.

To the north and west, the terrain rises sharply into the Ashley National Forest, where steep geographic features like Ashley Gorge and Rock Canyon carved by Ashley Creek define the wilderness boundary. Local landmarks such as Red Mtn and Coal Mine Basin offer specific points of interest for geological study and local history research, while the presence of named access routes like Dry Fork Settlement Rd and Old Power Plant Rd suggests the historical pathways of early utility and community development in the region.
