About this map

Provo River carves a deep path through this 1990s Utah landscape, framed by the heights of Cascade Mountain and the southern slopes of Mount Timpanogos Wilderness. The canyon floor serves as a vital corridor for both natural and man-made infrastructure, containing the Salt Lake City Aqueduct and the Alpine Scenic Highway. Small canyon settlements like Wildwood, Vivian Park, and Springdell dot the riverbanks, alongside recreational landmarks including Sundance Ski Area and Trefoil Ranch.

Tracing the waterways reveals iconic features like Bridal Veil Falls and Upper Falls, which defined this area as a destination long before modern developments. In the higher elevations of the Uinta National Forest, the terrain is marked by distinctive names like Lightning Peak, Snow Slide Canyon, and a series of geologically curious depressions named First, Second, Third, and Fourth Hole. Traces of the region's industrial past are visible in the small Mine and Prospect symbols scattered near Shingle Mill Hollow.
