1996 Map of Hayden Peak

About this map

Hayden Peak and Mount Agassiz anchor this high-elevation survey of the Uintas, where the convergence of the Wasatch National Forest, Cache National Forest, and Ashley National Forest creates a complex wilderness boundary. The landscape is defined by vast glacial cirques and basins, including the densely clustered water bodies of Naturalist Basin and the Four Lakes Basin. This 1990s revision details a remote network of trails such as the Highline Trail and the Skinner Cutoff, which facilitate travel through the High Uintas Wilderness. The map captures the hydrological significance of the region, tracing numerous alpine sources like Pigeon Milk Spring and Governor Dern Lake that feed into the Fish Creek drainage. It also marks historical administrative lines, including the winding borders between Summit and Duchesne Counties.
