About this map

Marsh Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Ashley National Forest, standing as a prominent landmark in the Uinta Mountains. The 2014 survey reveals a complex hydrological network defined by the Lakeshore Basin and various glacial water bodies such as Ashley Twin Lakes, Chimney Rock Lake, and the clustered Goose Lakes. These alpine basins feed into multiple drainages, including the S Fork Ashley Cr and the Dry Fork, illustrating the critical role of these high elevations in the regional water system.

Open meadows and clearings known as parks punctuate the forested terrain, including Horseshoe Park, Macks Park, and Big Park. The presence of Sink Ridge and Green Spring suggests the unique karst or limestone characteristics often found in this portion of northeastern Utah. This topographic study serves researchers and outdoorsmen tracking the intricate trails and seasonal waterways that define the northern Uintah County wilderness.
