About this map

Fox Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation alpine landscape, where the boundary between Summit and Duchesne counties traverses the peaks of the Uinta Mountains. This 2014 survey documents a network of glacial lakes and headwater streams, including the Uinta River and Shale Creek, which drain the southern slopes of the range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, marked by prominent landmarks such as Thompson Peak and North Burro Peak.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is visible through features like Corral Meadows and the Shale Creek Bridge, indicating the area's role as a transit corridor through the mountains. Passages such as Thompson Pass and Fox Queant Pass provide critical natural gateways across the high ridges. Much of the region is protected within the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest, preserving a vast system of water bodies including Kidney Lakes, Dime Lake, and Island Lake.
