1996 Map of Garfield Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Garfield Basin serves as a central hydrological hub within the high-elevation terrain of the Ashley National Forest. This 1996 revision, based on surveys dating back to 1963, details a landscape defined by glacial lakes and alpine passes. Named water bodies like Superior Lake and Little Superior Lake feed into Garfield Creek, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the drainage of Milk Creek and Yellowstone Creek. The map meticulously records the complex topography of the High Uintas Wilderness, including prominent crossings such as Tungsten Pass and Bluebell Pass. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns from Five Point Lake through the basin, or examine the isolated clusters of the Swasey Lakes situated within Swasey Hole. This document illustrates the preservation of backcountry primitive areas before the turn of the 21st century.
