1965 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation meet across this mountainous terrain, marked by the prominent Old Indian Treaty Boundary. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Mosby Mtn and Middle Mountain, where an intricate network of named springs like Uranium Spring and Prospector Spring sustained early exploration and land use. The presence of the Little Water Mines and several Gravel Pits suggests the area's mid-century extractive activity, while the Chalk Cliffs and Sawtooth Ridge provide distinct geological context for the eastern Uinta basin. A complex system of livestock-era infrastructure is visible through numerous named parks such as Mosby Park and Bills Park, alongside managed water sources like Burton Reservoir and Gull Lake.
