2014 Map of Slader Basin

About this map

Wasatch National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Summit County region, where alpine basins and sharp ridges dictate the flow of the Weber River. The map captures a detailed view of the water system that feeds the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir, including its primary namesake tributary Smith and Morehouse Cr and the Gardners Fork. This area is a significant hub for recreation and ranching, anchored by the Thousand Peaks Ranch and several structured campsites such as Aspen Grove Campground and the Smith and Morehouse Campground. Geologic depressions known as basins are prominent throughout the terrain, from Slader Basin in the south to Moffit Basin and Silks Basin further north. Notable peaks and ridges including Humpy Peak, Windy Ridge, and Slader Ridge offer a clear record of the area's elevation changes and natural boundaries within the national forest system.
