1948 Map of Aspen Grove

About this map

The Provo River and Deer Creek Reservoir anchor this 1948 topographic study of the canyon country between Utah Co and Wasatch Co. This mid-century view, updated with photorevisions through the 1970s, highlights the seasonal and educational use of the high country, featuring the Alpine Summer School (B Y U) and the Girls M I A Camp. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks trace the eastern shore of the reservoir, illustrating the critical transportation corridor through the mountain passes. Numerous natural water sources, including Cascade Spr, Sulphur Spr, and Tooth Spr, are meticulously mapped alongside local landmarks like Weeks Bench and Stewarts Cascades. The map also captures several campgrounds, such as Summit Campground and Lame Horse Campground, serving the Uinta National Forest and Wasatch Mountains State Park.
