About this map

Uinta National Forest lands dominate this high-country landscape, where complex drainage systems like Fifth Water Cr and Sixth Water Cr converge at the landmark known as Three Forks. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and valleys, including Rays Valley, Tanner Ridge, and Miller Ridge, which illustrate the classic corrugated topography of the Wasatch Range.

Remote springs such as Oak Spring and Mogbeck Spring provide critical water sources in a landscape marked by deep incisions like Cottonwood Canyon and Dry Canyon. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Diamond Fork Rd and Rays Valley Rd, or trails such as the Sheep Creek Connector Trail, reflecting the area's primary use for forest management and recreation. Peaks like Teat Mtn and Red Mtn anchor the western boundary of this high-elevation wilderness.
