1998 Map of Slader Basin

About this map

The high alpine country of the Wasatch National Forest is defined by sharp ridges and deep drainage basins as they appeared in the late 1990s. This survey centers on the drainage of the Weber River and its numerous tributaries, including Stillman Creek and Larrabee Creek. Significant peaks such as Humpy Peak anchor the northeast, while the massive Slader Basin and Slader Ridge dominate the southern landscape. The presence of the Thousand Peaks Ranch and the Smith and Morehouse Campground near the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir highlights the intersection of private ranching and public recreation in Summit County. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before later wilderness management changes, marking the boundary between the Evanston Ranger District and the Kamas Ranger District.
