1966 Map of Strawberry Reservoir SW

About this map

Uinta National Forest lands dominate this mid-1960s survey of the high country between Utah and Wasatch Counties. The landscape is defined by a series of parallel watercourses feeding the region's watersheds, including Fifth Water Creek, Fourth Water Creek, and Third Water Cr. These drainages are separated by prominent elevations such as Strawberry Ridge and Partridge Ridge, where heights like Baldy Mountain and Little Baldy Mtn provide significant vertical relief. The land use during this era appears focused on forest management and livestock, evidenced by several corrals and the Willow Creek Guard Station near the southeast corner. A network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates the level of accessibility for rangers and outdoorsmen before modern infrastructure expanded, while a lone Mine and Borrow Pit reflect small-scale resource extraction in the mountainous terrain.
