2014 Map of Erickson Basin

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this section of the Uinta Mountains, where high-altitude hydrology is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and reservoirs. Smith and Morehouse Reservoir serves as a primary water feature in the north, while the southern terrain is marked by a complex of alpine water bodies including Big Elk Lake, Island Lake, and Marjorie Lake. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Smith and Morehouse Creek and Shingle Creek carving through the steep topography of Erickson Basin and Broad Canyon.
