2014 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this Uintah County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of springs and drainage systems. The presence of Uranium Spring and Prospector Spring points to a history of mineral exploration in the mid-20th century, contrasting with the recreational and agricultural utility of landmarks like Bills Park and the settlement at Little Valleys. Water management is central to the area's character, evidenced by the numerous named sources such as Gull Lake, Walkup Spring, and the Dry Fork which carves through the northern reaches. The topography rises sharply toward Lake Mountain and the jagged Sawtooth Ridge, while the Chalk Cliffs and Little Water Hills provide distinct geological markers for those navigating the backcountry. High-elevation access is facilitated by the Red Cloud Loop, connecting these remote alpine features.
