1964 Map of Vernal NW

About this map

Military Reservation Boundary 1873 cuts across the northern reaches of this territory, marking a 19th-century administrative line that persists through the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the high Coal Mine Basin in the northeast to the deeply eroded drainages of Halfway Hollow and Twelvemile Wash. These watercourses create a complex network of ridgelines and ravines, where human activity is limited to resource extraction and cattle management. Small-scale industrial efforts are visible in the clusters of Mines and a Quarry near the basin, while the presence of a CCC Tank points to infrastructure developed during the New Deal era to manage water in this arid environment. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the broken terrain, illustrating how much of this Uintah County back-country remained accessible only by specialized vehicle decades after the initial frontier period.
