About this map

Old Blacks Fork Commissary and nearby ruins stand as markers of early human activity along the river drainage in this high-altitude landscape. During the late 1960s, this area of the Wasatch National Forest saw a significant transition as the Meeks Cabin Reservoir was being established, with blue hatching on the map indicating land designated to be submerged. The river system, including Blacks Fork, the West Fork, and Middle Fork Blacks Fork, dictates the movement through the terrain via numerous pack trails and a Jeep Trail.

Social and administrative hubs are represented by the Youth Camp near Lyman Lake and the East Fork Blacks Fork Guard Station to the south. Further into the forest, isolated landmarks like The Woodpile and Steel Creek Park provide reference points for those navigating the backcountry. The map also captures the local boundary where the Uinta and Summit County lines meet, alongside the border between the Wasatch and Wyoming National Forests.
