About this map

High-altitude mountain terrain and legendary ski-country landscapes define this recent survey of the Central Wasatch Range. The map details the convergence of major recreation and mining history at Brighton, Alta, and the western edge of Park City. The landscape is a complex network of alpine basins and granite summits, including Pioneer Peak, Sunset Peak, and Sugarloaf Mtn. High-country water sources such as Lake Mary, Lake Catherine, and Lake Solitude are prominent, many linked by specialized trails like the Brighton Lakes trail system.

Subterranean industrial legacy remains visible through labels for the Snake Creek Tunnel, Centennial Tunnel, and Smuggler Tunnel, reflecting the intensive silver mining era that shaped these canyons. Modern land management is split between the Wasatch National Forest and Uinta National Forest, with significant landmarks like Camp Tuttle and Miller Hill Mining providing anchors for local history and genealogy research in the canyon headwaters.
