About this map

The Bear River meanders sharply across this portion of Uinta County, creating a complex hydrology of oxbows and marshy features like Live Slough. This modern topographical survey captures the high-elevation landscape as it transitions from the Session Mountains in the east toward the broad, flat expanses of Dry Hollow Flats. Water management remains a defining characteristic of the region, evidenced by the Woodruff Narrows Reservoir and the containment of the river between the Woodruff Upper Narrows and Woodruff Lower Narrows.

Remote springs and family-named landmarks suggest a history of ranching and land use in this arid terrain. Roads such as Francis Rd, Hopkin Ln, and Little Crawford Rd provide the primary access to the scattered water sources including Gil Smith Spring and Wild Horse Spring. The elevation changes at Session Pass and Wood Pass provide clear evidence of the natural corridors used to navigate this corner of the Wyoming-Utah borderlands.
