2020 Map of Slader Basin

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Summit County, where the headwaters of the Weber River gather. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, characterized by prominent landmarks like Humpy Peak and Windy Ridge that overlook a series of high basins and drainages. Water management and recreational access are central features here, anchored by the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir at the confluence of Bear Trap Cr and Smith and Morehouse Cr. The map details a specialized transportation network of specialized routes such as the Slader Ridge Atv and Hilltop Atv trails, which navigate the steep transition between Slader Basin and the surrounding summits. These drainage patterns, including Mill Fork and Larrabee Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of the western Uintas as it feeds into the larger river systems of the Wasatch Range.
