1972 Map of Slader Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern Utah, where the headwaters of the Weber River gather in a complex network of alpine basins and ridges. The 1972 survey records a landscape shaped by seasonal grazing and recreation, centered on the Thousand Peaks Ranch and the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir. Geologic and industrial history is marked by a Mill near Mill Fork and the prominent Slader Ridge, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by peaks like Humpy Peak and deep glacial cirques including Moffit Basin and Silks Basin. This era shows the transition of the forest toward modernized resource management and recreation, evidenced by the established Campground near the confluence of Smith and Morehouse Creek and Bear Trap Creek. Notable water bodies like Boyer Lake and Blue Lake sit tucked beneath Humpy Ridge, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology before later development or environmental shifts.
