About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates this 1991 landscape in Grand County, where the high plateau is deeply incised by Post Canyon and Pole Canyon. This rugged terrain served as a focal point for tribal and federal land management, evidenced by the presence of the Hill Creek Ranger Sta and the Hill Creek Youth Camp. The map details a complex network of natural water sources vital to this arid environment, including Seeley Spring, Florence Spring, and Bolon Spring.

Evidence of historical transit and utility is seen in the Wagon Road traversing the eastern ridges and the Sunrise Dugway descending the steep slopes. High elevations are marked by prominent lookouts such as Walker Point and Hill Creek Point, while the southern reaches show established Campsites near the Weaver Reservoir. This survey provides a clear view of the canyon-and-ridge system before modern developments further altered these remote western tracts.
