1972 Map of Hidden Lake

About this map

Weber River drainage patterns define this high-elevation landscape within the Wasatch National Forest, where steep drainages and mountain basins dictate the path of travel. The map captures a network of specialized water features, from the high Hidden Lake and Shingle Mill Lake in the south to the Elkhorn Reservoir in the northwest. Evidence of resource extraction is visible through Gravel Pits located near the Weber River, while the presence of a Water Tank and several Pack Trails suggests the infrastructure required for managing livestock or forest resources in this terrain. Notable physical landmarks include the Mahogany Hills, Whites Basin, and Frazier Hollow, which flank the river valleys. The convergence of numerous tributaries like Smith and Morehouse Creek and Stillman Creek into the main river channel illustrates the complex hydrology of the Summit County highlands in the early 1970s.
