About this map

Marsh Peak dominates the high-elevation landscape of this Uintah County survey, marking a significant topographical point within the Ashley National Forest. The map documents a complex alpine hydrology where glacial basins such as Lakeshore Basin feed a network of water bodies, including Red Belly Lake, the Hopper Lakes, and Ashley Twin Lakes. These waters eventually drain into the S Fork Ashley Cr and other branches that carve through the high plateaus.

Evidence of human movement and land management is seen in the high-altitude routes like Ashley Driveway and the Dry Fork Flume Trail. The latter, along with the Red Cloud Loop, indicates a history of water management and forest access. Large open areas such as Deer Park and Horseshoe Park break up the wooded terrain, while the distinctive Sink Ridge and Chimney Rock Lake provide specific landmarks for those navigating these remote mountain reaches.
