About this map

Mount Timpanogos anchors this high-elevation mountain landscape, where the peaks of the Wasatch Mountains meet the waters of Deer Creek Reservoir. This late twentieth-century survey captures a region defined by its transition from industrial extraction to large-scale recreation and preservation. The rugged eastern slopes of the Timpanogos Mountain range are protected within the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness, while the lower valleys show the infrastructure of water management and tourism.

Evidence of historical transit and land use remains visible through the Old Railroad Grade and several extractive sites, including a mine and quarry near Heber Valley. The Aspen Grove Recreation Complex and Theater in the Pines Picnic Ground and Campground reflect the area's development as a public retreat. Significant water features like the South Fork Provo River and the tiered Cascade Springs Falls illustrate the complex hydrology of the Wasatch Mountain State Park and Uinta National Forest during this era.
