2014 Map of Paradise Park

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeast Utah, where the headwaters of the Whiterocks River and Paradise Cr flow through deep glacial basins. The region is defined by a sophisticated system of water management dating back to the early 20th century, evidenced by features such as the Mosby Canal and Paradise Park Reservoir. These works were critical for diverting water from the higher elevations of the Uinta Mountains to the agricultural valleys below. High alpine meadows and parks are scattered throughout the terrain, including Lonesome Park, Blanchett Park, and Lost Park, many of which were historically used for seasonal grazing. Landmarks like Mosby Mtn and Paradise Peak serve as prominent markers for the rugged topography, while the Dry Fork Bridge indicates the limited road infrastructure accessing these remote areas. For those researching land use or early irrigation engineering, the map provides a clear look at the relationship between the Mill Pond and larger reservoirs like Julius Park Reservoir.
