About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this Duchesne County landscape, where complex water management systems define the high-elevation terrain. Numerous man-made features like Timothy Cr Reservoir, Mud Spring Reservoir Number 1, and Lower Burnt Mill Spring Reservoir indicate a highly controlled hydrological environment within the wider Yellowstone River drainage. These reservoirs are fed by a network of seasonal streams and springs, including Burnt Mill Spring and McKune Spring, which served local grazing and forest management needs.

Distinctive geological landmarks punctuate the topography, from the sheer Yellow Ledges and Petty Mountain Loop to the broad expanse of Seventyseven Flat. The map documents a primitive transportation network essential for forest access, notably Yellow Stone River Rd and Limekiln Springs Rd. High basins such as Harmston Basin and canyons like Hells Canyon and Crow Canyon showcase the deep vertical relief characteristic of this corner of the Uinta region.
