2020 Map of Garfield Basin

About this map

Garfield Basin lies at the heart of this high-altitude landscape within the Ashley National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system where Garfield Creek and Yellowstone Creek descend through glaciated terrain. Significant mountain crossings like Tungsten Pass and Bluebell Pass connect various basins and meadows, including the broad opening at Center Park. The distribution of water is a defining characteristic, from the cluster of Swasey Lakes near Swasey Hole to the isolated waters of Little Superior Lake and Doll Lake. This 2020 record of the High Uintas provides a precise view of the natural hydrology and topographical landmarks that define this wilderness area, including named landmarks like Jackson Park and the headwaters of Milk Creek.
