1996 Map of Hoop Lake

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Bald Range straddles the border of Wyoming and Utah, where the Wasatch-Cache National Forest and Ashley National Forest converge. This 1996 revision documents a wild region defined by the headwaters of Burnt Fork and Thompson Creek. The geography reveals a legacy of resource management and remote access, featuring a Landing Strip in Gregory Basin and a small Oil Well near several intricate Ditch systems. Significant water infrastructure is visible at Hoop Lake and Beaver Meadow Reservoir, both crucial for local water management. The southern portion of the map transitions into the High Uintas Wilderness, characterized by expansive meadows like Kabell Meadows. The map provides a look at the backcountry infrastructure of the Flaming Gorge Ranger District, including several gaging stations and a Boat Ramp serving the high lakes.
