About this map

The Wasatch Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the West's major river systems originate. Surveyed at the turn of the century, the map reveals a wilderness of glacial lakes and prominent summits within the Uinta National Forest. The hydrological importance of the area is evident in the radiating drainage patterns of the Provo River, Weber River, and Bear River, which flow from the vicinity of Hayden Peak and Bald Mt..

High country landmarks like Grandaddy Lake and Mirror Lake are situated amongst a complex of peaks including Mt. Agassiz and Mt. Lovenia. The Utah-Wyoming Boundary Line runs across the northern edge of the sheet, while the rugged divide between Summit Co and Duchesne Co carves through the center. This survey captures the primitive state of the High Uintas before modern recreation infrastructure, focusing on the natural topography and the surveyed Base Line.
