1996 Map of Steinaker Reservoir

About this map

Steinaker Reservoir serves as the central focal point of this landscape, flanked by the Steinaker State Park and the expansive reach of the Ashley National Forest. The geography is defined by a sophisticated water management system necessary for the arid terrain, featuring the Steinaker Feeder Canal, Steinaker Service Canal, and the Highline Canal. Evidence of earlier human movement is preserved in the Carter Military Trail, which winds south from Red Mountain. The presence of Petroglyphs near Ashley Creek suggests a deep history of occupation long before the establishment of modern infrastructure. Small-scale ranching and agriculture are indicated by scattered features like Spring Creek Corral and the Upper Canal, while the topography transitions from the depths of Ashley Gorge to the heights of Coal Mine Basin.
