About this map

Uinta National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, defined by the complex drainage systems of Currant Creek. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the sheer drop at The Jumpoff to the prominent peak at Jimmies Point. Land use here revolves around forest management and seasonal livestock operations, evidenced by the Currant Creek Guard Sta and the presence of a Cow Camp.

Transport through this part of Wasatch County relies heavily on a network of unpaved routes, including the Jeep Trail and Pack Trail, along with a traditional Racetrack located in a high meadow. Named canyons and hollows like Layout Canyon, Waste Canyon, and Coal Mine Hollow suggest a history of resource evaluation and remote navigation. A Gaging Station on Uinta Creek indicates active water monitoring in this watershed, while features like the Corral near Buckhorn Knoll point to the area's grazing history.
