About this map

The Strawberry River flows through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a remote mountain corridor within the High Uintas region. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by the sharp convergence of the Deep Creek Canyon and Currant Creek drainages. A notable concentration of Fishponds along the creek indicates the area's development for local resource management and recreation during this era.

The map highlights a complex network of named drainages, including Water Hollow, Wildcat Canyon, and Bear Hollow, which reveal the intricate hydrology feeding into the larger river systems. While infrastructure is sparse, a dedicated telephone line and numerous Jeep Trails provide the primary connections across the high-elevation flats and steep ridges. The boundary between Wasatch Co and Duchesne Co bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, dividing these rugged watershed lands.
