1967 Map of Gilbert Peak NE

About this map

Bridger Lake Oil Field defines the industrial footprint of this high-elevation landscape in the late 1960s, where several Oil Wells and Oil Sumps are mapped near the border of Uinta and Summit counties. This remote area, straddling the Wyoming-Utah state line, is heavily shaped by the drainage of Henry's Fork and its tributaries like Dahlgreen Creek and Sage Creek. The map documents a rugged wilderness used for both extraction and recreation, featuring the Henrys Fork Campground and several high parks, including Bullocks Park, Joulious Park, and Deadhorse Park. A network of Pack Trails provides access through the Wasatch National Forest, crossing prominent landforms such as Red Mountain and the constricted passage at The Narrows. Numerous small water bodies, such as Alligator Lake and Quarter Corner Lake, dot the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this mountain region before later developments changed the backcountry access.
