About this map

Aspen Grove serves as a hub for recreation and mountain camps in this high-elevation landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic glacial cirques such as Big Provo Cirque, Cascade Cirque, and Primrose Cirque, which feed the many creeks and springs throughout the quadrangle. The North Fork Provo River and its various tributaries, including South Fork Deer Creek and Red Pine Creek, dictate the geography of the canyons.

Recreational infrastructure is dense, with a concentration of sites including the Theater in the Pines, Girls M I A Camp, and several named campgrounds like Summit Campground and Big Tree Campground. In the southeast, the Deer Creek Reservoir and the Deer Creek Dam manage the flow of the Provo River, while remnants of transportation history can be traced via Old US Hwy 189 and the West Bench Ditch. Notable natural features like Stewarts Cascades and Cascade Springs reflect the area's complex hydrology.
