1991 Map of Mirror Lake

About this map

Bald Mountain and Reids Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Wasatch National Forest, where the Uinta Mountains' alpine character is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and river headwaters. The map documents the recreational infrastructure of the early 1970s, featuring numerous sites like the Mirror Lake Guard Sta, Lilly Lake Campground, and Moosehorn Campground. These hubs are connected by primitive transportation routes including the Notch Mountain Trail and various pack trails that navigate around landmarks such as Notch Mountain and through Murdock Basin. The hydrography is particularly complex, showing the sources of the Middle Fork Weber River and dozens of smaller bodies like Crystal Lake and Washington Lake. A distinct Indian Treaty Boundary cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking a historical political line across the rugged terrain of Haystack Mountain.
