1967 Map of Mount Lena

About this map

The Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of northeast Utah, where the terrain transitions from the deep canyon of Flaming Gorge in the north to the rugged heights of Mount Lena and Limestone Mtn in the south. The 1960s marked a period of significant recreational development following the completion of the Flaming Gorge Dam, evidenced here by the presence of the Grizzly Ridge Winter Sports Area with its ski lifts and the Red Spring Campground. Small settlements and seasonal outposts like Greendale and Stringham Cabin provide anchors for local history, while a network of jeep trails and pack trails navigate the steep drainages of Cart Creek and Greens Draw. The map also captures the high-country boundary between Daggett Co and Uintah Co as it crosses the Base Line surveying marker near Pothole Creek.
