2020 Map of East Park Reservoir

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where a sophisticated network of recreational trails and water management systems defines the modern use of the Uinta Mountains. The presence of East Park Reservoir and Oaks Park Reservoir highlights the critical role of the high country in regional water storage. This 2020 survey documents a transition in wilderness transit, showcasing both historical routes like the Uinta Highline and contemporary winter paths such as the Don Hatch Memorial Snowmobile trail and the Lake Creek X-C Ski route. Named meadows or "parks," including Brush Park, Dyer Park, and Lonesome Park, indicate a terrain of interspersed clearings and timber across the Daggett and Uintah county line. These features, combined with springs like Aztec Spring and Ross Spring, provide a look at the enduring infrastructure supporting both forestry and mountain recreation.
