About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Duchesne County, characterized by a complex network of basins and plateaus. The drainage system is defined by Rock Creek and Pigeon Water Creek, which carve through the terrain near notable elevations like Mount Albert and Dry Mountain. This 2020 edition provides a clear picture of the modern forest management infrastructure, including Rock Creek Road and specialized routes like the McAfee Bypass.

The presence of high-mountain features such as Summit Lake and Mountain Sheep Pass suggests a landscape shaped by both glacial history and seasonal water sources like Gooseberry Spring and Currant Spring. Researchers can trace the topographic character of remote flats and hollows, from Daniel Flat in the east to Seep Hollow and Dry Mountain Hollow in the west, illustrating the varied alpine geography of the Uintah basin's northern periphery.
