About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where water management and recreational infrastructure intersect in the Uinta Mountains. The 1963 survey captures the area during a period of established forest management, highlighting the East Park Reservoir and Oaks Park Reservoir as central hydrological features. These reservoirs, alongside numerous named basins like Eagle Basin and meadows such as Dyer Park, underscore the region's importance for both water storage and seasonal grazing.

Transit through the area is defined by a network of primitive routes, including the High Line (Jeep) Trail and various other jeep tracks that provide access to Greens Lakes Campground and Skull Creek Campground. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Daggett and Uintah counties, following the drainage divides of Carter Creek and Brush Creek. Notable springs like Aztec Spring and Ross Spring serve as vital landmarks for those navigating these backcountry parks.
