1965 Map of Three Forks

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Salt Creek carves through this high desert corner of Uinta County, where a network of water sources like School Section Spring and Grove Spring supported seasonal livestock and early industrial attempts in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the confluence at Three Forks, where Whitney Canyon Creek and other drainages meet amidst a backdrop of named landforms such as Acocks Canyon and Christensen Hollow. Evidence of resource extraction is scattered throughout the terrain, visible in the Claypit and various Prospects located near the ridges. This 1965 survey, with updates through the 1970s, captures a transition from traditional land use toward more modern industrial surveying, documented by a system of Jeep Trails that provided access to these high elevations.
