About this map

Ashley National Forest and the southern reaches of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Daggett and Uintah counties. The map captures the transition from the high peaks of the Uinta Range down toward the dramatic canyon systems, marked by prominent elevations like Speirs Peak and Mount Lena. In the northwest, the settlement of Greendale serves as a gateway to the recreation area, while the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the early infrastructure for high-mountain leisure, including the Grizzly Ridge Winter Sports Area and the Red Spring Campground.

Tracing the complex drainage patterns of Cart Creek, McKee Creek, and East McKee Creek, the survey reveals a landscape of high meadows and timbered ridges accessed by a network of pack trails and jeep trails. Scattered landmarks such as the Stringham Cabin and the Limber Flag surveyor's mark provide essential reference points for researchers and historians looking to document the mid-century land use of this protected wilderness during a period of expanding federal recreation management.
