1903 Map of Hayden Peak

About this map

Hayden Peak and the high alpine ridges of the Uinta Mountains dominate this topographic survey, conducted just after the turn of the century. The map highlights a complex hydrographic network where the headwaters of several major Western river systems emerge. Significant waterways like the Bear River, Weber River, Provo River, and Duchesne River radiate from these peaks, illustrating the region's role as a critical watershed. The landscape is defined by its glaciated basins, containing numerous high-altitude water bodies such as Washington Lake, Grandaddy Lake, and Brown Duck Lake.
