2023 Map of Erickson Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Summit County, where a dense concentration of glacial lakes and reservoirs defines the geography. At the heart of the area lies Erickson Basin, surrounded by a network of named waters including North Erickson Lake, South Erickson Lake, and the larger Big Elk Lake. The presence of Weir Reservoir and Pot Reservoir indicates the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this alpine environment. Transportation through this remote terrain is limited to primitive routes such as the Smith-Morehouse Trl and Upper Setting Rd, which provide access to uniquely named landmarks like Hells Kitchen and The Deli Dell. This 2023 survey documents a wilderness character preserved within the national forest system, where drainage systems like Smith and Morehouse Creek flow through deep cuts like Box Canyon.
