About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape on the border of Daggett and Uintah Counties during the early 1960s. The area is defined by its water management and recreational infrastructure, anchored by the East Park Reservoir and Oaks Park Reservoir. A network of high-country trails and jeep tracks, such as the High Line (Jeep) Trail and Hideout Trail, suggests a remote region used for both forest management and outdoor access.

Numerous "parks" or alpine meadows are scattered across the terrain, including Meadow Park, Lonesome Park, and Dyer Park, indicating the natural clearings typical of this portion of the Uinta Mountains. The presence of established sites like Greens Lakes Campground and Skull Creek Campground illustrates the forest's role as a developed recreational destination even as it maintains its rugged character. Water sources like Aztec Spring and Ross Spring feed the numerous creeks, such as Carter Creek and Little Brush Creek, that drain these high basins.
