About this map

Iron Mine Mountain stands at the center of this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of three national forests—Uinta, Ashley, and Wasatch—converge. This 1972 survey captures a wilderness dominated by hydrological engineering and recreation. The Duchesne Tunnel cuts through the subterranean terrain, connecting water systems near the Provo River and Smooth Rock Falls.

Evidence of early territorial history is marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that bisects the northern sections. For those tracing the evolution of forest management and backcountry access, the map details a network of primitive transportation including the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail systems. Water resources are abundant, ranging from alpine features like Iron Mine Lake and Alexander Lake to the more modern Spruce Springs Reservoir.
