About this map

Iron Mine Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Provo River and Duchesne River originate. The region is defined by a complex network of hydrological engineering and natural water features, most notably the Duchesne Tunnel, which carries water beneath the high ridges of the Wasatch National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a rugged backcountry used for both resource management and recreation, evidenced by landmarks like Defas Dude Ranch and the Iron Mine Campground.

Settlement is sparse, with the map focusing on the interface between several protected lands, including the Uinta National Forest and Ashley National Forest. Small mountain waters like Iron Mine Lake, Alexander Lake, and Broadhead Lake are scattered across the high basins. Notable topographical features such as Cataract Gorge, Lambert Hollow, and Rhoades Canyon illustrate the deeply carved drainages that define this portion of the Uinta Mountains corridor along State Hwy 150.
