About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this 1960s survey of the high Uinta Mountains, where the drainage systems of Mill Creek and the West Fork Blacks Fork originate. The rugged terrain is punctuated by high-altitude features like Elizabeth Mtn, which towers over the surrounding basins, and Table Top, a significant plateau. The map records early management and access infrastructure, including the Mill Creek Guard Station and a network of jeep and pack trails that navigate the high country.

Water management is central to this landscape, as seen at Moslander Reservoir and Fish Lake, the latter featuring a specified spillway elevation of 9,788 feet. The survey captures the intersection of Summit County, Utah, and Uinta County, Wyoming, providing a precise record of the hydrological divide at Elizabeth Pass and the remote character of the wilderness before later developments or name changes.
