1985 Map of Deseret Peak East

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1980s, centered on the jagged ridgelines of the Stansbury Mountains. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, where drainage systems like South Willow Creek have carved deep passages through the Upper Narrows and Lower Narrows. High alpine water sources including North Willow Lake and South Willow Lake sit tucked beneath the peaks, while numerous named springs like Chokecherry Spring and Cold Spring provide critical water points in the drier canyon bottoms. Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to resource extraction and transit, with several areas marked for Mining or Prospects and primitive routes crossing at Box Elder Pass and Hickman Pass. The map reveals a complex network of hollows, such as Slate Rock Hollow and Faraday Hollow, that branch away from the central massif.
