About this map

Moon Lake Lodge and the surrounding wilderness of the High Uintas are documented here during the early 21st century. The map details a high-elevation landscape defined by glacial lakes and a complex water management system, including Kidney Lake Dam, Island Lake Dam, and Brown Duck Dam. These structures, along with several high mountain reservoirs like Kidney Lake and Moon Lake, illustrate the historical development of water resources in Duchesne County.

Evidence of earlier land use is visible at the Paint Mine and the Rock Creek Corral, while the presence of Robbins Ranch near Peterson Gulch highlights the area's grazing history. Recreational development is centered around the Lake Fork River and the eastern shore of Moon Lake, where the Moon Lake Campground serves as a primary access point to the Brown Duck Basin and its network of subalpine lakes.
