About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Stillwater Fork and Main Fork Bear River converge near the Christmas Meadows settlement. This region is defined by its dramatic glacial hydrology, featuring a concentration of alpine basins such as West Basin and Amethyst Basin, which feed numerous high-elevation water bodies including Amethyst Lake and Hell Hole Lake.

Evidence of modern recreational infrastructure is visible throughout the terrain, with a complex network of trails like Wolverine ATV and E Fork Bear Snow Machine traversing the ridges. Prominent summits including Kletting Peak, A-1 Peak, and Lamotte Peak provide fixed landmarks for understanding the drainage patterns of the Bear River headwaters. The map also records the Old Burn area, indicating the historical impact of fire on this forested mountain environment.
