2017 Map of Dry Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Uinta Basin region, where the terrain transitions through a series of significant peaks and drainage basins. High points like Dry Mountain and Mount Albert anchor the topography, while the hydrological network is defined by the south-flowing Rock Creek and Pigeon Water Cr. The map reveals a complex system of livestock-era landmarks and water sources, including Birch Spring, Gooseberry Spring, and Pigeon Water Spring. High mountain passes such as Mountain Sheep Pass and Farm Creek Pass indicate the historical routes used to navigate this section of the Duchesne County backcountry. The presence of several distinct high-meadow areas, like Daniel Flat, Sadies Flat, and Knolly Flats, suggests the traditional importance of this area for seasonal grazing and high-country navigation prior to modern road developments like the McAfee Bypass.
