2023 Map of Fox Lake

About this map

The Uinta Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the High Uintas Wilderness spans the boundary between the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest. This terrain is defined by a dense network of alpine lakes and dramatic peaks, including North Burro Peak and South Burro Peak. The map documents a complex system of historical trails, such as the Uinta Highline Trl and North Slope Highline A Trl, which provide the primary access to remote water bodies like Fox Lake, Island Lake, and Rainbow Lake. The convergence of Shale Creek and the Uinta River in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the watershed's importance to the region. High-altitude meadows like Corral Meadows and Long Meadow suggest a history of seasonal grazing and wilderness traverse in this corner of Duchesne and Summit Counties.
