1967 Map of Oweep Creek

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, defined by its complex glacial basins and interconnected water systems. The Lake Fork River and Oweep Creek carve through the terrain, fed by a high density of alpine lakes such as Ottoson Lake, Clements Lake, and Picture Lake. A network of Pack Trails provides the primary infrastructure for movement across these heights, connecting landmarks like Cleveland Pass and East Basin Pass. The map highlights the high-elevation meadows and basins that served as vital landmarks for early forest management and survey work, including Lambert Meadow and the expansive Brown Duck Basin beneath Brown Duck Mountain. This survey was produced in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, reflecting the mid-century interest in watershed management and high-country resource mapping in Duchesne County.
