1972 Map of Slader Basin

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern Utah, where the headwaters of the Weber River carve through the mountain basins. The 1972 survey captures the area’s role as a recreational and agricultural frontier, anchored by the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir and its adjacent Campground. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including the 10,700-foot Humpy Peak and the sweeping Windy Ridge. A network of water sources like Blue Lake and Boyer Lake feed into numerous drainages such as Larrabee Creek and Stillman Creek. Practical land use is evident at the Thousand Peaks Ranch, while the interior remains accessible primarily via the Slader Trail and various jeep trails that navigate the high-country topography of Slader Basin and Moffit Basin.
