About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Lake Fork River and Oweep Creek have carved deep drainage patterns through the terrain. The central hydrology is defined by numerous glacial-era water bodies, including Cleveland Lake, Stewart Lake, and E Slide Lake. Travel through this backcountry is marked by the Uinta Highline trail, which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle, and the Brown Duck trail leading into the southern basins.

Prominent landforms like Brown Duck Mtn and East Basin Pass indicate the challenging relief found within the Brown Duck Basin and Ottoson Basin. These features, alongside Lambert Meadow and West Park, reflect a wilderness area shaped by alpine processes. This survey documents the connectivity of the high-country trail systems and the distribution of smaller tributaries like Ottoson Cr and Clements Cr that feed the larger river systems of Duchesne County.
