1966 Map of Strawberry Reservoir NE

About this map

Strawberry Reservoir dominates the western edge of this Wasatch County landscape, its 1960s shoreline documented shortly before major water reclamation projects further altered the region. The map reveals a rugged backcountry network defined by Windy Ridge and the Strawberry River, where topographical data includes underwater contours provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. This focus on water management is punctuated by specific technical markers like the Spillway Elev 7558 and The Narrows. Beyond the reservoir, the land is characterized by steep canyons and seasonal water sources, including Stinking Springs, Chicken Spring, and Soldier Springs. Historically, the area relied on a sparse infrastructure of Telephone lines and Jeep Trails, supporting high-altitude livestock management as evidenced by various corrals scattered throughout the drainage basins of North Fork Deep Creek and Sage Creek.
