1967 Map of Explorer Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Explorer Peak stands as the centerpiece of this high-elevation mountain landscape, straddling the boundary between the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest. This 1967 survey documents an intricate network of alpine water bodies and drainage basins, notably the Ottoson Basin and Squaw Basin. The drainage of Rock Creek and its various forks organize the terrain, while high passes such as Dead Horse Pass and Cyclone Pass provide the primary transit points across the ridges. A dense concentration of named lakes, including the uniquely titled Jack and Jill Lakes, Sea Lion Lake, and Shamrock Lake, suggests a landscape shaped by glacial activity. The area is defined entirely by its natural hydrology and topography, with human presence marked only by a system of primitive routes like the W Fk Blacks Fork Trail and numerous unnamed pack trails.
