2020 Map of Gray Head Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Utah and Duchesne Counties, defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep canyons. The terrain transitions from the heights of Gray Head Peak and Reservation Ridge down into the drainage basins of the S Fork Avintaquin Creek and W Fork Avintaquin Creek. This area is characterized by a high concentration of water sources essential for livestock and wildlife, including Sick Cow Spring, Wild Horse Spring, and Red Cedar Spring. Transportation through this complex topography is primarily limited to Avintaquin Rd and specialized routes like the Badlands Atv Trail, illustrating the area's contemporary role as a managed forest and recreation zone. Geologic and historic interests are marked by features such as Fossil Ridge and the expansive Wilbur Bench, reflecting the deep physical history of the Uinta Basin's western edge.
