2014 Map of Mount Waas

About this map

The high peaks of the La Sal Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of Grand County, where alpine summits and deep canyons meet. Notable landmarks include the Mt Waas summit and the Andy Swenson Gravesite, located near Bull Canyon. The landscape is a network of elevated mesas and drainage systems, with Fisher Mesa and Andy Mesa overlooking the significant depression of Fisher Valley. Much of the territory falls within the Manti-LaSal National Forest, showing a preserved wilderness where high-altitude water sources like Hidden Lake and Dons Lake feed numerous creeks including Beaver Cr and Taylor Cr. This map traces the complex topography around Burro Pass and provides a record of the remote high-country trails and forest roads such as Gateway Rd and Tuckers.
