About this map

Mt Emmons dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Ashley National Forest, serving as a central landmark for a network of alpine drainage systems. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including the Timothy Lakes cluster and the Carroll group, which includes Upper Carroll Lake and Lower Carroll Lake. These water bodies feed into major tributaries like Swift Creek and Atwood Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Duchesne County high country.

Transportation through this wilderness is limited to established backcountry routes such as Jackson Park and the Chain Lakes-Atwood trail. Significant topographical features like Roberts Pass and Krebs Basin provide critical navigation points for those traversing the area near Flat Top Mtn. The map meticulously details the relationship between these peaks and the various basins, such as Crow Canyon, where seasonal snowmelt forms the headwaters of the region's creek systems.
