About this map

Oaks Park Reservoir and the high-elevation meadows of Uintah County define this 2011 survey of the Uinta Mountains. The landscape is characterized by a series of open grassy areas known as parks, including Soldier Park, Summit Park, and Lost Park, which are interspersed among the drainages of Carter Creek and Elk Creek. These parklands often served as seasonal grazing grounds and landmarks for early travelers and Forest Service rangers in the Ashley National Forest.

Infrastructure is concentrated around the Deep Creek Campground, where the Deep Creek Campground Bridge and Carter Creek Bridge provide access across the local waterways. The map documents the network of Forest Service routes, such as FS RD 038 and FS RD 059, which navigate the terrain between Trout Creek Peak and the various named meadows like Pat Carroll Park and Big Park. This topographical detail illustrates the relationship between the natural hydrology of North Fork Ashley Creek and the historical land use patterns of this mountain region.
