About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Weber River and Beaver Cr drain the western slopes of the Uinta Mountains. This 2020 record of Summit County captures the small valley communities of Kamas, Oakley, and Samak at the edge of the forest boundary. The terrain is marked by significant peaks and basins, including Hoyt Peak and Castle Peak, which oversee a network of glacial lakes such as Upper Yellow Pine Lake, Lower Yellow Pine Lake, and Castle Lake.

Modern land use is evident in the extensive system of recreational paths like the White Pine Atv and Beaver Atv trails, which follow historic drainages like White Pine Cr. Local place names such as Shingle Mill Flat and Elder Hollow reflect the region's long-standing connection to timber and livestock grazing, while the Scenic Byway provides the primary access corridor through this complex alpine topography.
