1967 Map of Hoop Lake

About this map

Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest converge in this high-altitude corner of the Uinta Mountains during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its water management and resource history, featuring the Beaver Meadow Reservoir and Hoop Lake, where a boat ramp and campground are noted. The presence of Coal Mine Hill and several drill holes suggests a history of mineral exploration amidst the timber and grazing lands. Movement through these forests relied on a network of paths like the Thompson Creek Trail, Jeep Trails, and various Pack Trails that navigated around Widdop Mountain and the Bald Range. This survey captures the state line area where Wyoming and Utah meet, showing the transition from the Gregory Basin to the lush Kabell Meadows and Bull Park.
