About this map

Ashley National Forest and Uinta National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Wasatch, Utah, and Duchesne counties. The terrain is defined by massive geographic markers like Long Ridge and Flat Ridge, which separate deep drainages such as Avintaquin Canyon and Mill Hollow. This 1996 revision emphasizes the hydrological network essential for forest management, mapping numerous springs such as Balsam Spring, Johnson Creek, and Ostler Spring.

High points including Indian Head and Cat Peak provide significant orientation for those tracing the history of the Spanish Fork Ranger District. Water management is evident in the inclusion of Trail Reservoir and Little Corral Reservoir, suggesting the multi-use nature of these forest lands for both recreation and resource protection. The intricate network of unnamed trails and labeled forest boundaries reflects the jurisdictional complexity of the Uinta National Forest Reservation at the close of the twentieth century.
