About this map

Samak and the nearby residential area of Sumak Acres sit at the southwestern edge of this mountain study, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation drainage basins of the Wasatch National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal creeks and steep-walled canyons, including Hoyt Canyon and Seymour Canyon, which feed into major waterways like the South Fork Weber River and Beaver Creek.

High-altitude landmarks such as Hoyt Peak and Castle Peak overlook secluded alpine water bodies, specifically Upper Yellow Pine Lake, Lower Yellow Pine Lake, and Castle Lake. The area's history of resource access and recreation is evident in the many specialized paths, from the Shingle Mill Flat to the Beaver Atv Trl and Upper Setting Snoma Marked Trl, reflecting the 21st-century management of this wild terrain.
