2023 Map of Nebo Basin

About this map

The Mount Nebo Wilderness and Uinta National Forest dominate this high-elevation terrain where the borders of Utah, Juab, and Sanpete counties converge. This map documents a landscape defined by significant basins and ridges, including the namesake Nebo Basin, Hell Hole Basin, and North Basin situated beneath Evans Ridge. The drainage system is complex, featuring the upper reaches of Salt Creek, Nebo Creek, and Red Creek, which flow through steep corridors like Black Canyon and Bear Canyon. A network of backcountry routes such as the Nebo Loop Winter Trl, Blackhawk Trl, and Summit Trl provides the primary access to these remote heights. Local landmarks like Mahogany Hill and Red Creek Flat reflect the traditional mountain use of the Wasatch Range, while the presence of Red Rock Pasture and Upper Pasture indicates the seasonal grazing patterns that have persisted in these highlands for generations.
