About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this landscape in the late 1960s, a rugged expanse defined by steep drainages and canyon walls. The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking a significant historical administrative line near the Bad Land Cliffs. Water sources are critical in this high-elevation terrain, with numerous named springs feeding into networks like Twelvemile Creek and Indian Canyon.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, centered on the Indian Canyon Guard Station situated near Grass Hollow. Primitive transport is visible through several Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges between Sterling Hollow and Fivemile Creek. The map illustrates the complex drainage system of the Uinta Basin's southern edge, where deep-cut features like Deathtrap Canyon and Argyle Canyon transition toward the Argyle Creek valley.
