About this map

Tokewanna Peak and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of the Wasatch National Forest define this landscape along the Summit and Duchesne county line. The drainage patterns of the East Fork Bear River and West Fork Blacks Fork basins dominate the topography, revealing a complex network of glacial cirques and alpine basins like Cataract Basin. The map shows a clear division of land management between the High Uintas Wilderness and Ashley National Forest, where high-altitude passes like Deadman Pass and Red Knob Pass serve as critical navigation points for the Uinta Highline Trail.

Remote alpine lakes including Allsop Lake, Norice Lake, and Priord Lake are concentrated in the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the rugged hydrological character of the High Uintas. Notable rock formations such as The Cathedral and peaks like Mt Beulah provide significant landmarks for backcountry navigation in an area largely defined by its lack of road infrastructure and reliance on established trail systems like the Bear River-Smith Fork Trail.
