About this map

Ashley National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where glacial activity has carved a series of significant basins and mountain passes. The drainage network is dominated by the south-flowing Lake Fork River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Oweep Cr and E Basin Cr. High ridges separate distinct alpine environments such as Ottoson Basin and Brown Duck Basin, each containing clusters of small lakes like Cleveland Lake and Three Lakes.

Logistical access across these steep divides is marked by the Uinta Highline and Ottoson routes, which navigate the complex topography near East Basin Pass. The map reveals a wild, unpopulated territory where traditional place names like Lambert Meadow and West Park denote flatter clearings amidst the verticality of Brown Duck Mtn. This document serves as a detailed record of the hydrological patterns and named landmarks in a remote section of Duchesne County.
