1996 Map of East Park Reservoir

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of the Uinta Mountains, where water management and recreation infrastructure meet at the Daggett and Uintah County line. The map highlights significant engineering in the high country, specifically the East Park Reservoir and Oaks Park Reservoir, both crucial for water storage and regulation in this arid region. The presence of the Red Canyon Lodge and multiple campgrounds near Greens Lakes signals the area's development for tourism within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. These forest lands are crisscrossed by historic routes including the Uinta Highline Trail and the Flaming Gorge Vernal Trail, which follow the natural contours of the drainage systems. The detailed mapping of various parks like Lonesome Park and Dyer Park illustrates the diverse meadow ecosystems found among the timbered slopes, used for both grazing and recreation.
