2020 Map of Burnt Cabin Gorge

About this map

The southern slopes of the Uinta Mountains dominate this 2020 landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Ashley National Forest transitions into complex canyon systems. The map detail highlights an intricate network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including Reader Cr, Bassett Cr, and the deep incision of Burnt Cabin Gorge. Evidence of land management and recreational infrastructure is present through the naming of the Bassett Springs X-C Ski Loop and several mountain reservoirs such as Counting Station Reservoir. Significant topographical features like Little Brush Creek Knob and the Diamond Mountain Plateau define the local relief. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks including Dutch Charles Draw and Mary Cashen Canyon, which offer clues to the early ranching and homesteading history of the region.
