About this map

Alta sits at the eastern edge of this high-elevation terrain, a node of settlement defined by the steep corridors of Little Cottonwood Rd and Alta By Pass Rd. The map illustrates a complex network of alpine trails and water bodies concentrated in the Wasatch Range, where the peaks of Dromedary Peak and Sundial Peak rise above the surrounding basins. This landscape is characterized by its numerous glacial lakes, including the cluster of Lake Blanche, Lake Lillian, and Lake Florence, which feed into the Mill B South Fork.

Evidence of the area's mining history persists through names like Mineral Flat, Mineral Basin, and Mary Ellen Gulch. The intersection of the Salt Lake and Utah county lines traverses several high ridges, passing through Hidden Peak and Twin Peaks. The inclusion of the Alta City Cem and various remote trailheads like the Quarry Trl and White Pine Trl offers specific data points for those tracing the development of recreation and mountain industry in these high reaches of the Wasatch National Forest.
