About this map

Raspberry Knoll stands as a prominent landmark at the convergence of the Ashley National Forest and Uinta National Forest during the early 1960s. This high-country landscape, straddling the Wasatch Co Duchesne Co line, reveals a transition from traditional land use to resource extraction. While numerous water sources like Little Red Spring and the Right Fork Currant Creek support the high-altitude terrain, the presence of a Mine and an Oil Well indicates the industrial footprint reaching into these remote mountain reaches.

A notable historical marker on this map is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the drainage of Rough Hollow and Grass Hollow. This line serves as a reminder of earlier jurisdictional divisions within the forest lands. The network of several named trails, including a Jeep Trail winding through Wagon Boss Canyon, provides insight into the mid-century accessibility of the Bobby Duke Ridge and the surrounding McDonald Basin.
