1906 Map of Marsh Peak

About this map

Ashley National Forest covers much of this high mountain landscape, which was surveyed by E. M. Douglas and A. E. Murlin in the first decade of the twentieth century. The map centers on the high-elevation divide of the Uinta Meridian, where snowmelt feeds systems like Carter Creek and Whiterocks Creek. This era reveals a localized industrial economy tied to the timber and mineral resources of the peaks, evidenced by several scattered timber operations such as Griffin's Mill, Johnsons Mill, and Flume Mill.
