1972 Map of Seven Tree Flat

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border where Utah meets Wyoming. Mapping conducted by the U.S. Forest Service in the early 1970s reveals a network of primitive access routes, including several Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails that traverse the rugged elevations between Seven Tree Flat and the Bear River. This region serves as a significant drainage basin, with numerous watercourses like Bull Creek, Chalk Creek, and Mill City Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of Grassy Lakes in the eastern portion of the quadrangle suggests small alpine catchments within the forest boundary. For the historian or researcher, the map preserves the exact alignment of the Uinta Co and Summit Co line and the state boundary as they intersect this montane wilderness, documenting the land use and topographic character of the forest before modern developments.
