2023 Map of Mount Aire

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this topographic study of the high-elevation terrain east of Salt Lake City, where deep canyons and prominent peaks define the landscape. The map details the transition from the Parleys Canyon corridor in the north, carrying Interstate 80, to the high alpine environments of the Mount Olympus Wilderness and Twin Peaks Wilderness. Key water features like Big Cottonwood Creek and Mill Creek have carved significant drainages such as Big Cottonwood Canyon and Mill Creek Canyon, which serve as primary conduits for both local geography and recreation. Researchers will find a dense network of trails, including the Desolation Trl and Mill Creek Ski Trl, connecting landmarks like Dog Lake and Doughnut Falls. The settlement of Brighton appears in the southeast, situated near Greens Basin and Reed and Benson Ridge, illustrating the area's long-standing role as a mountain retreat.
