1967 Map of Mount Powell

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Mount Powell stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude survey of the High Uintas, where the alpine terrain is defined by glacier-carved basins and dramatic peaks. The landscape transitions between the Ashley National Forest and the Wasatch Mountain range, bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the dividing line between Summit and Duchesne counties. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally well-documented, showing the headwaters of the East Fork Smiths Fork, Yellowstone Creek, and Henrys Fork. Numerous alpine lakes, including Red Castle Lake, Lake Blanchard, and Kings Lake, are linked by a network of pack trails that navigate difficult terrain through Porcupine Pass and Smiths Fork Pass. This record is particularly valuable for its detail of the Garfield Basin and its surrounding summits, including South Kings Peak and Wilson Peak, capturing the primitive character of the wilderness before later 20th-century recreational shifts.
