About this map

Winter Ridge dominates the central landscape of this canyon-dissected portion of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. The drainage of Willow Creek carves a deep path through the terrain, flanked by significant geographical features like Main Bottom and Lower Bottom. This 1966 topography, updated in the late 1980s, captures a remote environment where human infrastructure is sparse but notable, including a Landing Strip and a Gaging Station situated near the confluence of several canyons.

Evidence of habitation and activity is marked by the Cave House located at the edge of Main Canyon, while the intricate network of naming reflects the importance of water and passage, seen in labels like Horse Creek and Trail Canyon Spring. The map documents the Indefinite Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the complexities of land management and surveying in this part of eastern Utah during the mid-to-late 20th century.
