About this map

Porcupine Ridge and Porcupine Mtn dominate the high-elevation terrain where the borders of Utah and Wyoming meet. This 2014 survey delineates the complex drainage systems of the western Uinta Mountains, where several seasonal and perennial streams like Thief Cr, Howard Cr, and Chicken Cr cut through the steep topography. The northern reaches are marked by Barker Reservoir, while the southern portion transitions into the wider Chalk Creek Basin.

Remote mountain travel in this region is defined by corridors like Yellow Creek Rd and Chalk Creek Rd, which provide access to high-country basins and the Basin Cr valley. The map clearly illustrates the surveyed township and range lines across the state boundary, reflecting the late 20th-century land management patterns and resource access routes that continue to serve this sparsely populated section of Summit and Uinta counties.
