2017 Map of Rasmussen Lakes

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Duchesne County, characterized by a dense concentration of alpine lakes and glacial features. Centered on the Rasmussen Lakes and the tiered descent of Upper Rock Lake, Middle Rock Lake, and Lower Rock Lake, the terrain illustrates the headwaters of the regional drainage system. The W Fork Whiterocks River and Elkhorn West Fork carve deep paths through the complex topography of the Queant spurs and the prominent Pole Mtn. Local landmarks like Bennion Park and Davis Park offer specific reference points for researchers tracking the historical usage of these upland basins. Significant hydrological features such as Lucky Spring, Bennion Spring, and the Pole Creek Sink suggest the subsurface complexity of this wilderness area at the time of this 2017 survey.
