About this map

Wasatch National Forest and Uinta National Forest meet in this high-elevation mountain terrain where the headwaters of the Provo River and its various forks dominate the landscape. The geography is defined by a network of steep drainages including Log Hollow, Lambert Hollow, and Campbell Hollow, providing a clear look at the drainage patterns into the N Fork Provo River and S Fork Provo River. Civil engineering is represented by the West Portal Duchesne Tunnel, highlighting the region's historical and ongoing importance for water management.

Modern recreational use is evidenced by the Soapstone Basin ATV Trail and seasonal routes like the Mirror Lake Highway Winter and Norway Flat Winter. Small pockets of settlement or named landmarks such as Pine Valley and Silver Meadow appear alongside geologic markers like Soapstone Mtn and Soapstone Pass, offering specific locations for genealogists and local historians to track land use and named features across Summit County and Wasatch County.
