1965 Map of Kings Peak

About this map

Kings Peak and Gilbert Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness defined by steep glacial cirques and alpine basins, most notably the expansive Painter Basin and the cluster of Painter Lakes. Historical land divisions are marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the high ridges near the Summit and Duchesne County line.
