About this map

Leidy Peak and Ute Mountain define the high-altitude landscape of this 2011 survey, where the drainages of the High Uintas form a complex network of glacial basins and water management infrastructure. The region serves as a critical headwater area, with the North Fork Ashley Creek and South Fork Ashley Creek flowing south toward the Uinta Basin. This 2011 record documents the presence of the Browne Lake Dam and Long Park Dam, highlighting the intersection of natural hydrology and engineering in the Uintah backcountry.

Outdoor recreation and seasonal habitation are represented by the small settlement at Summit Park and the Brown Lake Campground. The wilderness character is further emphasized by numerous remote water bodies, including the clusters of Tepee Lakes, Pollen Lake, and Lake Wilde. These high-country features, alongside the glacial Lakeshore Basin, provide a detailed look at the geographic character of the region before more recent shifts in mountain water levels and land use.
