About this map

Uinta National Forest and Wasatch Mountain State Park dominate this terrain, where the North Fork Provo River cuts through the canyon floor toward the Deer Creek Reservoir. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both recreation and institutional use, featuring the Alpine Summer School (BYU) and the Girls M I A Camp near Aspen Grove.

Infrastructure of the era is evident along the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad line, which skirts the reservoir's edge near Weeks Bench. High-elevation landmarks such as the Snow Gaging Sta near Big Tree Campground and several natural springs like Cascade Spr highlight the area's role as a critical watershed. Local history is grounded in small details, from a lonely Grave near the Provo River to an old Prospect tucked into Bear Canyon.
