1905 Map of Gilbert Peak

About this map

The Uinta Mountains dominate this high-altitude survey, representing the wilderness at the turn of the century when federal land management was just beginning to take shape. Surveyed in the early 1900s, the map identifies the early boundaries of Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of glacial basins and peaks, including Kings Peaks and Gilbert Peak, which feed the headwaters of the Uinta River and Yellowstone Creek.
