About this map

The High Uintas Primitive Area and Ashley National Forest define this high-altitude landscape in Duchesne County, where the Lake Fork River carves a deep path through the glacial terrain. This 2014 survey documents a network of alpine lakes and basins, including Brown Duck Basin and Ottoson Basin, situated beneath the peaks of Brown Duck Mtn. The hydrology is particularly dense here, with numerous small bodies of water such as Picture Lake, Stewart Lake, and Clement Lake clustered in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Transportation through this wilderness is limited to topographic breaks like Cleveland Pass and East Basin Pass. The map also illustrates the Uintah Meridian boundary and the transition between several township ranges. For those studying the geography of the Uinta Range, the placement of features like Lambert Meadow and West Park relative to Oweep Cr provides a clear view of the area's complex drainage patterns.
