About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several major waterways converge near the Wyoming Utah border. The map details a complex network of glacial lakes and river forks, including the West Fork and Middle Fork Blacks Fork, which feed into the Meeks Cabin Reservoir to the north. Evidence of the region’s administrative and survival history is found at the Old Blacks Fork Commissary (Historic Site) and the East Fork Blacks Fork Guard Station.

The presence of the High Uintas Wilderness and established sites like the Little Lyman Lake Campground indicates a transition toward managed recreation and preservation in the late 20th century. Researchers can trace the legacy of resource management through features such as the Gaging Station and the Bear River Smiths Fork Trail, illustrating how these remote drainage basins were monitored and accessed long after the peak of early mountain transit.
