About this map

Leidy Peak serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape within the Ashley National Forest, where the boundary between Daggett and Uintah counties crosses through the mountainous terrain. The map traces the historic Old Carter Military road and the Uinta Highline trail, illustrating the primary routes through this wilderness. A dense network of glacial lakes and alpine meadows characterizes the area, including the Tepee Lakes, Red Lake, and the expansive Lakeshore Basin to the south.

Water systems like Beaver Cr and the forks of Carter Cr drain the northern slopes near Sheep Creek Park, while the headwaters of N Fork Ashley Cr and S Fork Ashley Cr emerge below the peak. This survey documents the preserved natural state of the Uinta Mountains, focusing on the topography and primitive infrastructure such as N Elk Park and several forest roads that provide access to remote destinations like Browne Lake and Hacking Lake.
