About this map

The high mountain watersheds of the Uinta National Forest dominate this late 1990s landscape, where the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the ridgelines. High peaks like Heber Mountain and Currant Creek Peak define the hydrological divide, sending water toward the West Fork Duchesne River and the Strawberry River. The topography reveals a complex network of canyons and hollows, including Wide Hollow and Ballows Hollow, which descend from the central uplands toward the valley floors.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated in the mountain residential community of Timber Lakes and industrial sites like the Gravel Pit. The mapping of the Communication Tower on Heber Mountain reflects the expansion of modern infrastructure into these remote elevations. For researchers, the map provides a clear picture of the interface between protected forest lands, tribal territories, and the burgeoning recreational and seasonal developments at the edge of the Wasatch Range.
