2017 Map of Bollie Lake

About this map

The Uinta River carves a deep path through this high-elevation landscape within the Ashley National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated network of water and terrain, where several named crossings such as Rock Canyon Bridge, Sheep Bridge, and Smokey Springs Bridge facilitate movement across the river's central drainage. This 2017 survey reveals an alpine environment dotted with numerous lakes including Wild Goose Lake, Meadow Lake, and the eponymous Bollie Lake. These water bodies, along with the Chain Lakes-Atwood and Lower Chain Lake, suggest a glaciated geography where water sources like Smokey Spring and Uinta Spring are vital markers. The map serves as a contemporary record of Duchesne County’s wilderness management and high-country hydrology, tracing tributaries like Atwood Cr, Bluebell Cr, and Krebs Cr as they feed into the primary river valley.
