About this map

Alpine Summer School (B. Y. U.) and the Girls M. I. A. Camp highlight the mid-century institutional and recreational character of the Wasatch Range. Located within the Wasatch National Forest, this area serves as a significant hub for mountain education and seasonal retreats at Aspen Grove. The landscape is defined by the steep canyons of the Provo Canyon and the recently established Deer Creek Reservoir, which marks the southeastern portion of the map.

Transportation through these high elevations relies on the Alpine Scenic Highway, while the Rio Grande and Western line skirts the edge of the reservoir. Notable landmarks for local history include the Snow Gaging Sta and multiple seasonal camps such as Forest Camp No 1 and the Big Tree Camp Grounds. The map also reveals numerous natural water sources like Cascade Spr and Sulphur Spr, which were essential for both the forest service and early mountain travelers.
