2013 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of the White River Plateau, where the wilderness of The Flat Tops meets a network of established recreation sites and historic trails. The map highlights a series of alpine water bodies including Deep Lake, Heart Lake Reservoir, and Bison Lake, which serve as the primary hubs for backcountry activity. This 2013 survey illustrates how forest management has preserved the primitive character of the land while maintaining access through named routes like the South Fork Trail and the Ute Deep Trail. Campsites such as the Supply Basin Campground and Klines Folly Campground are situated near these water sources, reflecting a landscape organized around the seasonal use of high-country resources. Significant topographical landmarks like Blair Mountain and Triangle Mountain provide orientation across this drainage system where the South Fork White River and Buck Creek originate.
