1965 Map of Ice Cave Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the northern reaches of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation meet in this high-elevation landscape mapped during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Mosby Mountain and the deep cut of the Whiterocks River. This area is dense with evidence of early administrative and natural resource management, featuring the Elkhorn Guard Station, a Gaging Station, and the remote Loggers Cabin Park. Water sources are the primary landmarks here, with numerous named springs such as Snake John Spring, Lees Bench Spring, and Cart Hollow Spring supporting local activity. The presence of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the Uintah Special Meridian provides a look at the historical surveying and jurisdictional lines that governed the Uinta Basin's development and tribal lands.
