About this map

Ashley National Forest and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area define this high-elevation landscape in the Uinta Mountains during the early 1960s. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of hydrological management, notably the East Park Reservoir and Oaks Park Reservoir. These water bodies, along with the Greendale Canal and Hideout Canal, illustrate the intensive water engineering required for the region's recreation and resource management.

Tracing the border between Daggett and Uintah counties, the map reveals a rugged interior accessible primarily by routes like the High Line Trail (4WD) and the Uinta Trail. Named clearings such as Lonesome Park, Dyer Park, and Meadow Park offer specific points of reference for land use and local history. The presence of features like Aztec Spring and the Greens Lakes area highlights the vital natural water sources that sustained both the local ecosystem and human activity in this remote Utah quadrangle.
