2020 Map of Heller Lake

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Duchesne County landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Uinta Basin transitions into significant peaks and ridges. Water management is a primary theme of the area's development, evidenced by the Cedar View Reservoir and the intricate network of drainage and transport including Dry Gulch Cr and the Uinta River. A complex system of forest and local roads, such as High Line Rd and Ute 7 Rd, provides access to landmarks like Washs Nipple and Tower Ridge. To the south, the terrain levels out at John Starr Flat, where the forest boundary meets the more open spaces of Cottonwood Canyon. The map preserves the specific locations of necessary infrastructure like the Clover Creek Bridge and Lower Dry Gulch Bridge, which facilitate movement across this varied topography.
