1908 Map of Marsh Peak

About this map

Uinta National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 1905–1906 survey, where the rugged Uinta Mountains are dissected by the headwaters of the Green River. The presence of several remote resource-extraction sites, including the Dyer Mine and a series of timber operations like Griffins Mill, Johnsons Mill, and Flume Mill, reveals an era of intense mountain industry before the region became primarily recreational. The survey captures early high-country settlements and outposts, notably Manila and Linwood near the Wyoming border, and isolated shelters such as Deadman Cabin and Dodds Cabin. Topographic detail follows the deep incision of Horseshoe Canyon and Red Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Ashley Creek and Whiterocks River flowing south from the divide. This map provides a look at the early infrastructure of the Salt Lake Base Line and the Uinta Meridian as surveyors established boundaries across the peaks of Marsh Peak and Leidy Peak.
