2017 Map of Buck Fever Ridge

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of Uinta County, where the prominent Buck Fever Ridge and Thunderbolt Mtn rise above a network of alpine parks and meadows. This 2017 survey details a remote mountain environment defined by intricate water management and recreation trails, including the Murray Ditch and Tipperary Reservoir that divert and store snowmelt. Named open spaces like Jacks Park, Lambs Meadow, and Cowboy Cabin Park suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest use, while a complex system of seasonal routes such as Dead Horse ATV B and Dead Horse Ski "A" crisscrosses the slopes near Slab Park. The drainage pattern is led by the Smiths Fork and its various tributaries, which carve through the high country alongside Gilbert Creek Rd.
