1967 Map of Garfield Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, defined by a dense concentration of alpine water bodies and drainage basins. The Garfield Basin serves as a central hydrological hub, collecting water from Garfield Creek and surrounding peaks to feed into various named lakes including Five Point Lake, Gem Lake, and Doll Lake. This terrain, mapped via aerial photography in 1963 and field checked in 1967, highlights a wilderness infrastructure reliant on a primitive Pack Trail network rather than roads. To the south, Swasey Hole and the Swasey Lakes cluster show the glaciated character of the Duchesne County high country, where prominent passes like Tungsten Pass and Bluebell Pass provided the only traversable routes through the steep ridges separating the Yellowstone Creek and Milk Creek drainages.
