1965 Map of Turtle Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Emigrant Trail tracks through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a historical corridor of westward movement through Uinta County. The terrain is defined by the high, flat expanse of the Cottonwood Bench, which sits between the winding path of Smiths Fork and the drainage of Cottonwood Creek. The agricultural development of the region is evident through an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Lyman Canal and Urie Ditch, which divert water to sustain ranching on the arid plains. Notable landmarks like Turtle Hill and Emigrant Draw provide distinct reference points for researchers tracing old travel routes or family land holdings. The presence of Hank Road and various unnamed tracks suggests a pattern of land use centered on the seasonal movement of livestock and water management in this high-desert environment.
