Editing Daggett County, Utah (section)

==Geography==
Daggett County lies at the lower northeastern corner of Utah. Its northern border abuts the south border of the state of [[Wyoming]], and its eastern boundary abuts the western border of the state of [[Colorado]]. Its main geographical features are the [[Uinta Mountains]], which comprise its southwestern portion and delineate part of its southern border, and the [[Green River (Colorado River tributary)|Green River]], which has carved a deep gorge through the east-central part of the county.<ref name=DCU>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Daggett+County,+UT/@40.8321613,-109.2512012,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x874555091b5791cf:0xe4cef6374d2eaaef!8m2!3d40.9053845!4d-109.5211063 ''Daggett County UT''  Google Maps (accessed 26 March 2019)]</ref> In 1958, the [[United States Bureau of Reclamation]] took advantage of this natural feature to construct the [[Flaming Gorge Dam]], creating the [[Flaming Gorge Reservoir]], which began filling in 1964.
