About this map

Stateline Reservoir sits on the border of Utah and Wyoming, anchoring a high-country landscape defined by its abundant glacial lakes and summer campgrounds. The map reveals a dense concentration of water and recreation sites in the northeastern corner, including Marsh Lake, Bridger Lake, and the smaller Sargent Lake. These basins are fed by the divided drainages of the East Fork Smiths Fork and West Fork Smiths Fork, which weave through expansive open spaces like China Meadows and Gilbert Meadow.

Engineering features such as the Marsh Lake Dam and China Lake Dam indicate the managed nature of this wilderness for downstream water use. The southern half of the quadrangle shifts toward broader terrain, dominated by Bull Park and Big Meadows as the terrain descends toward the Henrys Fork valley. This 2011 survey documents a preserved backcountry corridor accessible via routes like Steel Creek, where meadows and marshes remain the primary landmarks.
