2017 Map of Chepeta Lake

About this map

Ashley National Forest and Wasatch National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Whiterocks River and Burnt Fork originate. The 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of alpine lakes, including the large Chepeta Lake and the isolated Burnt Fork Lake, connected by long-distance paths such as the Uinta Highline trail. Significant geographic markers like North Pole Pass and Kabell Ridge define the drainage divides between the Summit and Duchesne county lines. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the hydrography of the High Uintas, from the Reeder Basin to smaller glacial features like Moccasin Lake and Papoose Lake. The land is characterized by steep elevation changes and high mountain parks such as Bear Park and McCoy Park, which have historically served as landmarks for navigation in this wilderness area.
