About this map

The Uinta River carves a deep central corridor through this section of the Ashley National Forest, serving as the primary drainage for a high-elevation landscape dotted with alpine basins. To the west, a series of glacial lakes including Bollie Lake and Lower Chain Lake sit beneath the high ridges, while the eastern portion is dominated by the High Uintas Wilderness and the steep walls of Rock Canyon.

Human activity is concentrated along the river valley, where the U-Bar Ranch and the small settlement of Wandin represent the primary points of habitation. Transport across the river is facilitated by remote crossings such as Rock Canyon Bridge and Sheep Bridge. Near the southern boundary, the Uinta Administration Site and water sources like Smokey Spring indicate the managed nature of this backcountry as it was recorded in the mid-1990s.
