About this map

High elevations in the Uinta National Forest dominate this 1960s survey, marking a significant hydrological divide where the headwaters of the Duchesne River, Strawberry River, and Little South Fork Provo River emerge. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Heber Mountain and Currant Creek Peak, with the historic Old Duchesne Road and a network of jeep trails providing the primary access through the mountainous terrain.

Evidence of the region's complicated administrative history is visible through the Indian Treaty Boundary and the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cut across the ridges and meadows. Family-named or local landmarks like Harvey Meadow, Bald Knoll, and Mair Spring indicate a legacy of high-country grazing and seasonal use. The presence of a Radio Tower and the Feeder Canal at the southern edge suggests the evolving modern infrastructure supporting communication and water management in the Wasatch range.
