About this map

Strawberry Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its waters reaching into the numerous canyons of the Uinta National Forest. The engineering of the early 20th-century reclamation project is visible through the Strawberry Tunnel, with both the West Portal and East Portal clearly marked, alongside the Diversion Canal designed to move water across the hydrographic divide. This area, managed by the Bryants Fork Guard Station, reveals a mix of early recreation and traditional land use.

Evidence of historical boundaries is preserved on the map, specifically the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the dividing line between Wasatch and Utah counties. The shoreline is dotted with established sites like Clarks Camp and Camp Strawberry, while the surrounding high ground includes landmarks such as Doe Knoll and the narrow crest of Uinta Ridge. Numerous drainages, including Clyde Creek and Bryants Fork, feed into the reservoir, illustrating the complex watershed that defined the region's development.
