About this map

Mount Timpanogos anchors the western edge of this 1990s landscape, serving as a focal point for the Uinta National Forest and the surrounding high-altitude terrain. The map details the developed recreation and research infrastructure near the settlement of Aspen Grove, including the Aspen Grove Recreation Complex, a Snow Gaging Station, and the uniquely named The Theater in the Pines. To the east, the waters of the Deer Creek Reservoir and the Provo River flow through the Deer Creek State Recreation Area, illustrating the region's importance for water storage and outdoor activity.

Industrial and natural history meet as the map traces the Great Western Trail and the Alpine Scenic Highway alongside traditional land uses like a Gravel Pit and Quarry. Significant geologic features such as Timpanogos Cave, Cascade Springs, and the dramatic Cascade Cirque define the rugged character of the Wasatch Mountain State Park, while smaller landmarks like Soldier Hollow and Canyon Meadows mark the ongoing human presence in these alpine valleys.
