About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this 1963 survey, revealing a high-altitude landscape of the Uinta Mountains at the border of Daggett and Uintah counties. The geography is defined by the headwaters of several major drainages, including the West Fork Carter Creek and the North Fork Ashley Creek. Rising above the basins is Leidy Peak, a prominent landmark that sits near the Ashley Lakeshore Basin.

Historically, the map documents the infrastructure of high-country recreation and water management. Early trails such as the Uinta Highline Trail and the Jeep Trail near Ute Mountain indicate the remote nature of the region. The presence of the Long Park Res and the Old Military Res Bdy suggests the varied administrative and utilitarian history of this wilderness. Scattered seasonal points like Half Moon Park and Sheep Creek Park provide specific markers for those tracing family history or early forest service activity in this part of northern Utah.
