2020 Map of Chepeta Lake

About this map

Ashley National Forest and Wasatch National Forest meet at a high mountain divide in this study of the Uinta Mountains. The terrain is characterized by a high-altitude drainage system, where the Whiterocks River and its various branches, including the W Fork Whiterocks and E Fork Whiterocks River, originate from numerous alpine basins. These basins are clustered with glacial lakes such as Chepeta Lake, Cleveland Lake, and the remote Spirit Lake near the northern boundary. The Uinta Highline trail serves as the primary artery for travel through this wilderness, crossing North Pole Pass and connecting several lake systems. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Kabell Ridge and Reader Basin, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region as water flows north via Burnt Fork and south toward the Duchesne County line.
