About this map

The West Fork Blacks Fork, Middle Fork Blacks Fork, and East Fork Blacks Fork converge in this high-altitude drainage near the Utah-Wyoming border. This landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Uinta Mountains foothills, where glacial and alluvial processes have created a dense network of mountain streams. To the north, the Meeks Cabin Reservoir dominates the drainage of the main Blacks Fork branch, while the presence of the Old Blacks Fork Commissary suggests the area's legacy as a supply point for early timber or grazing operations.

Water-focused recreational and land-use patterns are evident near Lyman Lake and Little Lyman Lake, including the Little Lyman Lake Campground. The map details a web of forest service roads and trails that navigate between Duck Lake and seasonal drainages like Brush Creek and Steel Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition from historical resource extraction toward more modern wilderness management and recreational use.
