About this map

Spirit Lake Lodge and Spirit Lake Campground provide a primary human focal point in this high-altitude landscape where the Wasatch National Forest meets the Ashley National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system along the boundary of Summit Co and Duchesne Co, characterized by a series of glacial lakes including Fish Lake, Burnt Fork Lake, and Tamarack Lake. High-altitude features like North Pole Pass and the Kabell Ridge define the steep topography, while meadows such as Bear Park and McCoy Park break the forested terrain.

The hydrological network is particularly detailed, tracing the headwaters of the Whiterocks River and its various branches, including the W Fork Whiterocks River. Smaller alpine basins contain distinct water bodies like Chepeta Lake, Reader Lakes, and Wigwam Lake. The presence of the Uintah Meridian serves as a critical surveying reference point for this portion of the Uinta Mountains, framing the township and range divisions that structured land management in this wilderness area during the early 21st century.
