2014 Map of Hoyt Peak

About this map

Hoyt Peak serves as the literal high point of this terrain within the Wasatch National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a series of deep basins and canyons. The western edge of the map shows the edge of high-altitude settlement at Oakley and Kamas, where the transition from the valley floor to the wilderness is marked by Elder Hollow and Wide Hollow. The drainage network is complex, with the Weber River and S Fork Weber River carving paths through Swifts Canyon and Pinon Canyon. Higher elevations reveal glacial-sculpted features such as Castle Lake, Upper Yellow Pine Lake, and Lower Yellow Pine Lake. The presence of Shingle Mill Flat suggests the historical timber-related activity common in these mountains, while modern access is provided by State Hwy 150, which skirts the Yellow Pine Campground as it heads toward the interior of the range.
