1906 Map of Gilbert Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

Gilbert Peak stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude survey of the Uinta Mountains during the early twentieth century. This was a period when the high Uintas were primarily defined by their inclusion in the Uinta Forest Reserve, a landscape dominated by the headwaters of major river systems like the Uinta River and Henrys Fork. The presence of Smiths Ranch and Edwards Ranch near the Wyoming Utah boundary line indicates the early pastoral economy that relied on these mountain drainages. The map reveals a complex glacial topography, naming remote features such as the Red Castle formation and the sheer heights of Kings Peaks. These early surveys recorded the vital water sources and summer grazing grounds of Gilbert Meadows and Beaver Meadows before modern development or intensive recreation altered the character of this high-wilderness region.
