About this map

The Uinta Mountains divide the high-altitude wilderness along the Summit Co Duchesne Co line in this 2017 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of alpine water bodies including Fox Lake, Dine Lake, and the Kidney Lakes. These basins sit below prominent peaks such as Thompson Peak and N Burro Peak, where the drainage feeds into the Uinta River and Shale Cr.

Logistical access to this remote portion of the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest is limited to high-country paths. The Uinta Highline trail serves as a primary artery for traversing the crests, while the Shale Fox Cutoff and W Fork Whiterocks provide critical links for backcountry navigation. A notable human landmark in this wilderness is the Shale Creek Bridge, marking one of the few formal infrastructure points amidst the meadows and passes.
