About this map

Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of the Uinta Mountains, surveyed in the mid-1960s. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including Fox Lake, Island Lake, and the clustered Davis Lakes, all situated between prominent summits like Thompson Peak and North Burro Peak. A significant historical demarcation, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary National Forest Boundary, cuts across the center of the map, marking the legacy of land divisions in the Duchesne and Summit county region.

The drainage patterns of the North Fork Uinta River and Middle Fork Beaver Creek illustrate the watershed's complexity. Notable for local history and topography are the Shale Dugway and Painter Draw in the south, while several Pack Trails provide the only depicted infrastructure through the high country. This document preserves the wild character of the territory before modern recreational expansion, recording the specific locations of remote water bodies like Verlie Lake and Coffin Lake.
