2020 Map of Hoop Lake

About this map

Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Utah and Wyoming. The map documents a complex drainage system where Indian Cr and the Burnt Fork move through the northern foothills of the Bald Range. Notable water features include the Beaver Meadow Reservoir, Hoop Lake, and Fish Lake, which serve as critical landmarks for local hydrologic history. Evidence of past resource extraction is visible at Coal Mine Hill, while numerous family-named landmarks like Widdop Mtn, Gregory Basin, and Kabell Ridge suggest the deep-rooted history of ranching and early settlement in this corner of Sweetwater and Uinta Counties.
