About this map

Mount Aire dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Wasatch National Forest, where steep drainages and jagged crests define the terrain of the central Wasatch Range. The map details a complex network of canyons and peaks, including Gobblers Knob and Mt Raymond, which separate the major watersheds of Mill Creek and Big Cottonwood Canyon. The presence of several springs and alpine features, such as Thousand Springs and the popular Dog Lake, highlights the area's role as a vital water source and recreational hub near Salt Lake County's urban edge.

Distinctive geological and recreational landmarks like Donut Falls and Grandeur Peak are meticulously charted alongside historic access points such as Church Fork and Burch Hollow. The documentation of the Great Western Trail and various pipelines indicates a landscape managed for both utility and wilderness preservation, providing a clear record of the intersection between municipal infrastructure and the protected natural environment.
