1979 Map of Payson Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The high ridges of Mount Nebo and Loafer Mountain dominate this late 1970s survey, illustrating the complex geography of the Uinta National Forest. The landscape is a mix of high-altitude recreation and industrial extraction, with active and former resource sites like the Golden Relief Mine and Syndicate Mine positioned alongside numerous mountain camps. Small alpine water bodies, including Maple Lake, Red Lake, and the larger Big East Lake, are scattered throughout the peaks, while the High Line Canal skirts the northern edge near the settlement of Spring Lake. The distribution of family-named agricultural holdings, such as Wimmer Ranch and Jones Ranch, alongside the Payson Lake Guard Sta, shows the historic transition between private land use and federal forest management.
