About this map

Rockport State Park and the adjacent waters of Rockport Lake anchor the southwest corner of this Summit County landscape, where the Weber River enters from the south. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, rising from the spillway level toward the prominent Elkhorn Divide and the heights of Piney Mountain. Numerous drainage systems including Crandall Canyon, Elkhorn Canyon, and Pecks Canyon carve through the high ground, punctuated by small upland water bodies like Sargent Lakes and the Elkhorn Reservoir.

A network of 4wd routes provides access to the interior, reflecting the area's use for recreation and land management. The presence of a Gaging Station and several corrals suggests a landscape managed for both water resources and seasonal grazing. Historical boundaries such as the Base Line and township markers intersect the terrain near Log Hollow Divide, providing a precise look at the division of these mountain lands at the close of the 20th century.
