About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Utah and Wyoming. The map details the rugged drainage systems feeding into Chalk Creek, including the East Fork, Middle Fork, and Mill Fork. Human presence is concentrated in small pockets of activity, such as the Aagard Ranch and Rigby Ranch, along with recreational and utility infrastructure like Pine Cliff Camp and a prominent Pipeline crossing the northern ridges.

The presence of a Gaging Sta near the west-central border and the numerous high-country water bodies like Joyce Lake and Boyer Lake reflect the critical role of water management in this high-desert mountain environment. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the steep slopes of Porcupine Ridge to the secluded depression known as Red Hole, providing a comprehensive look at the land use and hydrology of the Evanston Ranger District in the late 1990s.
