1968 Map of Jones Hollow

About this map

The Ashley National Forest dominates this section of the Uintah Basin, where a complex network of canyons and ridges defines the high-altitude landscape. The Indian Canyon Guard Station stands as a central point of activity within the Indian Canyon drainage, surrounded by numerous springs and narrow draws like Sterling Hollow and Jones Hollow. This survey preserves the exact path of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary Trail, which follows the high ground of the Indian Treaty Boundary, marking a significant historical line of demarcation across the peaks. To the south, the terrain drops dramatically at the Bad Land Cliffs, overlooking Argyle Canyon and the prominent Argyle Ridge. The map details a landscape transition from the timbered heights of Gray Head Peak to the deep incisions of Lake Canyon, providing a look at the backcountry infrastructure of fire trails and jeep tracks used during the late 1960s.
