1972 Map of Deadman Mountain

About this map

The Bear River drainage and the surrounding mountain terrain of the High Uintas dominate this 1970s survey. This high-country landscape is defined by its water management and recreation history, featuring the elaborate Hilliard East Fork Canal, Hilliard Canal, and Hovarka Canal systems that diverted water across the rugged topography. Human presence is centered on ranching and seasonal forest management, evidenced by the Burts-Miller Ranch, Island Ranch, and the Bear River Ranger Sta. The area's mid-century utility as a mountain getaway is visible through the Hill Air Force Base Recreation Camp and established campgrounds like East Fork Campground. High-elevation landmarks such as Deadman Mountain and Lone Mountain tower over alpine features like Lily Lake and the Grassy Lakes cluster.
