About this map

Marsh Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in the Uintah mountains, where a complex network of alpine water management and glacial basins is meticulously documented. The presence of several infrastructure features, including the Upper Goose Lake Dam, Lower Goose Lake Dam, and Ashley Twin Lakes Dam, highlights the significance of this area for regional water storage and regulation. These reservoirs, alongside Hopper Lakes and Fish Lake, feed into drainage systems such as South Fork Ashley Creek and the North Fork Dry Fork.

Transport through this isolated terrain is defined by the Red Cloud Loop, which provides access to expansive meadows and open terrain features like Macks Park, Corral Park, and Big Park. The topography transitions from the high peaks down to Sink Ridge in the south, reflecting a transition in the geological character of the range. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of these high-country landmarks and water resources as they existed in the early 21st century.
