About this map

Ashley National Forest and the High Uintas Wilderness define this high-elevation landscape in Duchesne County. The area is characterized by a complex network of alpine glacial features, including the broad Ottoson Basin and Brown Duck Basin. Water from the high ridges drains through the Lake Fork River and Oweep Creek, fed by numerous high-altitude water bodies such as Cleveland Lake, Picture Lake, and Stewart Lake.

Navigation through this roadless terrain relies on established paths like the Uinta Highline Trl and Lake Fork Trl, which connect the various passes and meadows. Notable topographic landmarks such as Brown Duck Mtn and Cleveland Pass serve as critical orienting points for those traversing the backcountry. The map reveals the relationship between the drainage basins and the steep, glaciated geography of northern Utah’s highest range.
