About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the high border between Utah and Wyoming. Situated in the 1960s, this area is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and the headwaters of the Smiths Fork. The map captures the infrastructure of forest management and early recreation, featuring the Hewinta Guard Station and the Bridger Lake Guard Station alongside several established camps like the Marsh Lake Campground.

A small Cem near the northern boundary line between Uinta Co and Summit Co suggests earlier high-country activity, perhaps linked to grazing or timber. The terrain is characterized by broad meadows and glacial basins, including Bull Park and Big Meadows, which provided natural clearings for the pack trails and jeep tracks that served as the primary routes through this remote backcountry during the mid-20th century.
