About this map

Ashley National Forest covers the northern half of this terrain, where high-elevation landmarks like Mount Albert and Dry Mtn define the drainage patterns of the Uinta Basin. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources and named high-country passes, including Mountain Sheep Pass and Farm Creek Pass. These routes provided essential passage through the steep topography for early travelers and livestock herders.

Lower elevations to the south and east feature broad openings such as Daniel Flat and Sadies Flat, where the landscape transitions into several deep hollows like Sadies Hollow and Seep Hollow. Numerous springs, including Birch Spring and Pigeon Water Spring, are scattered across the slopes, indicating the critical role of water management in this high-desert environment. The course of Rock Creek and Pigeon Water Cr further illustrate the hydrologic network that supported local grazing and forestry operations in Duchesne County.
