About this map

The High Uintas, as documented in this mid-1990s revision, reveal a landscape defined by dramatic alpine summits and glacial basins. Rising along the Summit-Duchesne County line, the prominent Red Knob and its namesake Red Knob Pass serve as key markers in this wilderness. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and isolated water bodies, including Lake Lorena, Norice Lake, and Allison Lake, which feed the drainage systems of the Bear River and the West Fork Blacks Fork.

Evidence of the region's geography is found in the names of landmarks like The Cathedral and Mount Beulah, while the presence of Buck Pasture suggests the seasonal patterns of the high country. This map captures the area as managed by the Wasatch National Forest and the Ashley National Forest, illustrating the protected boundaries of the High Uintas Wilderness before the turn of the twenty-first century.
