1965 Map of Kings Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

High alpine peaks and glacial basins define this 1965 survey of the Uinta Mountains, centered on the towering Kings Peak. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting borders of the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest, separated by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts across the high ridges near Gilbert Peak. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of high-altitude water bodies, including Gilbert Lake, Milk Lake, and the clustered Painter Lakes within the expansive Painter Basin. This map illustrates the vital headwaters of the region, where the Uinta River and West Fork Beaver Creek originate from snowmelt and glacial cirques. Strategically placed routes like Gunsight Pass and Trail Rider Pass provide the only passage through these steep divides, connecting remote basins such as Painter Draw to the lower valleys.
