1972 Map of Hoyt Peak

About this map

Hoyt Peak and the high-altitude drainage basins of the Wasatch National Forest dominate this early 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the Weber River in the northwest corner to the glacial features like Upper Yellow Pine Lake and Lower Yellow Pine Lake further south. The settlement of Samak sits at the southwestern edge, serving as a gateway to the network of trails and canyons that traverse the area. Steep elevation changes are marked by numerous named drainages, including Hoyt Canyon and Swifts Canyon. Outdoor recreation and timber history are evident through the labeling of the Yellow Pine Campground and Shingle Mill Flat. This map preserves the mid-century layout of the forest's primitive transportation network, showing an extensive system of pack trails and jeep trails alongside family-named landmarks like Duke Spring.
