About this map

The Uinta National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by the systematic drainage of Diamond Fork and its numbered tributaries. This 1994 edition reveals a high-altitude wilderness used for utility and transport, featuring a network of Pack Trails, ATV Trails, and a Tunnel (under construction) near the northern boundary. Settlement is largely absent, replaced by specialized landmarks such as a Radio Facility on Teat Mountain and various Corrals indicating seasonal livestock use.

Water sources are critical to the character of Rays Valley, with numerous named points like Mogbeck Spring, First Water Spring, and mineral-heavy Sulphur Springs. The map documents a rugged interior geography where deep-cut drainages like Oak Spring Canyon and Jocks Canyon separate high overlooks like Tanner Ridge. Researchers will find evidence of varied land use, from a solitary Mine near the ridges to several clusters of Drill Holes along the forest slopes.
