About this map

Bald Mountain and Mount Watson dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Provo River and Weber River originate among dozens of alpine basins. The area’s water management history is evident in the numerous small-scale engineering works, including the Washington Lake Dam, Trial Lake Dam, and Abes Lake Dam, which regulate the natural flow from these glacial catchments.

Recreational infrastructure is well-established along the corridor of the Mirror Lake Highway, featuring numerous organized sites such as the Mirror Lake Campground, Trial Lake Campground, and Camp Steiner. The map records significant geological and navigational landmarks like The Notch and Bald Mountain Pass, alongside dramatic terrain features such as Slate Gorge and Murdock Basin. This survey documents the intersection of water storage, forest service management, and public access in a concentrated lake-rich environment.
