1998 Map of Hole In The Rock

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest straddles the high-altitude boundary between Utah and Wyoming, defined by the prominent peaks of Poison Mtn and the Bald Range. This landscape is fundamentally shaped by the drainage of the Beaver Creek system, including the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork. Historically, the area represents a managed wilderness and resource zone, featuring the Hole in the Rock Guard Station and remnants of extractive efforts like Coal Mine Hill and scattered gravel pits. The mapping reveals a transition from the structured Mountain View Ranger District into the protected High Uintas Wilderness, where the terrain rises toward Burn Ridge. Genealogists and local historians can trace the early infrastructure of the forest service and the primitive road networks like the Lane that provided access to remote grazing corrals and high-country landmarks like Hole in the Rock.
