1965 Map of Kings Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Kings Peak and Gilbert Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Summit Co Duchesne Co Boundary cuts through some of the highest points in the Uinta Mountains. The 1965 field survey captures a wilderness largely defined by glacial hydrology, with drainage systems including the Uinta River and its various branches like the North Fork and Center Fork. The terrain is divided between the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest, illustrating how federal land management bifurcated this remote alpine environment. A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, is traced across the ridges, providing a rare cartographic record of past territorial agreements. High basins such as Painter Basin and numerous alpine pools like Lake Atwood and Lake George Beard are accessible only via the extensive network of Pack Trails that weave through passes like Gunsight Pass.
