About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Uinta and Summit Counties. This 1972 survey documents a remote wilderness defined by a complex network of headwaters, including the northern reach of the Bear River and its West Fork. The terrain transitions from the plateau of Seven Tree Flat into deep drainage basins where numerous creeks, such as Chalk Creek and Mill City Creek, originate.

Logistics across this mountainous divide are represented by a network of Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges between Bull Creek and Deer Creek. The presence of small water bodies like Grassy Lakes and various unnamed springs highlights the importance of water resources in this alpine environment. This record provides essential details for understanding the historical land use and hydrologic patterns of the Utah-Wyoming border region prior to modern forest management changes.
