1963 Map of Elk Park

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the high Uinta mountain region, where the terrain is defined by a series of open meadows and alpine basins known as parks. The map documents a complex landscape of water management and historical land use, centered around the Oaks Park Reservoir and the Trout Creek Guard Station. A significant historical landmark is the Old Military Reservation Boundary, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle near Soldier Park.
